As they are now demolishing the Hippadrome I do remember going to see the pantomime they use to put on.
It was my first taste of live theatre and very exciting in the mid 50's for a five-year-old. Oh what happy memories, "The wicked witch is behind you" the whole audience would scream, then, if it was my fathers company who had treated us, we would all get a orange, candy and a toy to go home with! How special we were.

I was born in Coventry but lived in Rugby where I went to school. After finishing school I moved to Cyprus where I got married. My parents are from Cyprus but they still live in Rugby. They have a fish shop in Coventry at Aldermans Green.
I just wanted you to know that it is great that you help people finding their lost friends, family etc.
I came to Coventry after 13 years. It was great to see everything again, much has changed for the better. But I was disappointed in seeing the park behind Aldermans Green that has been abandoned. When I was little there used to be boats and ducks, it was great. Now it's just dead. Can something be done about this?

I moved to the States in 1993. I was born and raised in Coventry and attended Long Ford Park Primary School.
I had a good friend, Martin Reeves. I recently learned that there is a Martin Reeves playing for Leicester City Football Club. I was wondering if you could tell me if it's the same Martin Reeves.

I would like to find my dead brother's son, Kenny Lewis, he used to live at Clifford Park Estate, Coventry, Warwickshire.
If anyone knows of him, I really would appreciate any information, thank you.

Hi I wonder if you, or your audience, could help me?
My father Albert Ward was born and lived in Coventry until the mid 1970's. He now lives in New Zealand and sadly has terminal cancer.
He has asked me to try and locate Margaret Elliot, who originally lived at Telfer Road, Radford, Coventry (1945).
My father was very close to her and feels it hugely important to contact her, he thinks she may have tried to contact him recently.
If any of your audience can help I would be truly grateful as my father is extremely distressed about not being able to locate this lady.
She was always an active church member and I believe used to attend the congregational church in the Well St/Chapel St area where her father may have been a minister or lay preacher.

What has happened to round cafe in the Lower Precinct? I used to go there as a child when it was the Wimpy Bar. My friend in Coventry told me that the round cafe had been demolished. Is that the case?
Also, when will you have webcams so that I can see my home town from my computer?

So, has the café been demolished or not? I'd love to go there again one day, too.

Sorry, if it's not clear Lorna.
The rotunda is a listed building as it's the last of its kind in the country and it will form the centrepiece of the redevelopment of the Lower Precinct.
One building that is currently being demolished is the old Hippodrome theatre. Does anyone have any thoughts on that?
