It's a blind termination of the canal. The Canal splits into 2 wharves, originally for loading/unloading purposes. I believe these days one of the wharves is largely taken over by a boat hire company.

So, this won't actually be Channel 4's new HQ, just a token gesture to the world outside the M25: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/channel-4-14723815

Another building is being pulled down. I don't think it looks that bad, but the photographer could just have done a good job of making it look that way: https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/date-set-demolition-one-coventrys-14723531

I've never had a problem with that building. However, I don't believe it has ever been fully occupied since it was built.

Those toilets should never have been closed. Coventry has very few public toilets, in fact, if I needed them whilst in the city centre I really don't know where any are.
City of culture without any toilets - That's Coventry!
And as for filling them with concrete, that's going to cost a bloody fortune. Those toilets were quite a size!

We were only on the list to make the numbers up.  My bet is Manchester will get it. - It makes sense as BBC's media city is there.

Interesting. I have to say I agree with several of their points. Nice that they agree about the removal of the escalator though. - IIRC, that was put in on the demand of Branson's Virgin empire.

I can only say that I'd not want to live there!
