Coventry's Industrial Heritage

A look back at some of Coventry's former industries. Starting with the demise of the Ribbon Weaving industry in the late 1850's/early 1860's and ending with an advert for Massey Ferguson tractors, this video gives a glimpse of the industrial powerhouse that Coventry once was.

Thanks to Rob Orland and June Gibson for allowing me to use images belonging to them in this production.
