Memories from the Owen Owen store in Coventry
Thanks to John Tidmarsh for sending us these wonderful images from the Owen Owen Coventry Store. John worked for 25 years at the Coventry store and Torrington Avenue warehouse.
Thanks to Sylvia Pountney our volunteer visitor for Coventry for sending in the artist impression of the original Coventry store which was bombed during the Second World war.
The new store was rebuilt on Broadgate and reopened on 1st October 1954 by the Lord Mayor Alderman John Fennell JP. There are also images of the temporary store which was used after the Second World War and some images sent in by Trevor Bevin of the new store under construction.
