Two Cathedrals by peadar

Two Cathedrals

The medieval-era Cathedral in Coventry was destroyed in a bombing raid during WWII. The new Cathedral, focussed on reconciliation, was deliberately modernist, but connected physically to the ruins of the old Cathedral to demonstrate continuity.
Interesting concept

Wonderful capture of this particular part of history.

I have friends who attend here. Some special services happen in the ruins. Very dramatic and atmospheric.

Oh this photo brought back memories. I remember going to the new cathedral on a school trip shortly after it was completed in the 1960s. I am showing my age now. It is a magnificent structure and standing next to the ruins of the old cathedral just makes it so special.

I went to college in Coventry, this was across the road

I recognised this instantly, even though I haven't been there since a primary school visit over sixty years ago. This is a marvellous shot of a very impressive scene. Fav!

The new building harmonizes nicely with the old building.
