Coventry Registry Office (13th-15th C restored 20th C)

            Originally the Gatehouse to Cheylesmore Manor which dates from the 13th century it was much altered during the 14th and 15th centuries, what was left finally being restored between 1968 and 1972.
Built by the Earls of Chester it passed to Queen Isabella wife of King  Edward II then onto her Grandson Edward The Black Prince in 1338. The City Motto "Camera Principes" meaning a chamber fit for a prince comes from this association.  
This was formerly the rear of the building but as can be seen is now the front. The car is a 1999 Peugeot 306 Cabriolet. I love this shot as it reminds me of the kind of photos I saw in car magazines back in the 70's 80's and 90's.
