The Burges and Hales Street, Coventry, West Midlands, Historic Area Assessment
Author(s): Aimee Henderson, Rebecca Lane
Coventry today is considered by many to be a modern city. While its medieval origins are well documented, it is the post-war rebuilding of the city which has influenced much of its present character. This historic area assessment provides an overview of the history, development, character and significance of a small fragment of the medieval city preserved within the historic streets of The Burges, Palmer Lane and Cross Cheaping, around which much of the early growth of the city was centred. The purpose of this report is to inform future decisions about enhancements to the conservation area and to underpin the regeneration of The Burges and Hales Street as part of Historic England's High Street Heritage Action Zone programme.
