Coventry, West Midlands

An unidentified courtyard in Coventry surrounded by terraced houses with a grocer's van in the foreground and washing hanging to dry. The houses have the characteristic large upper windows typical of home-based weavers; a practice that died out with the advent of mills in the 1800s.
