COVENTRY: THE THREE SPIRES.
This old Warwickshire town once possessed a cathedral of its own, but this has been swept away, and its celebrated "three spires" belong to the three separate churches of Trinity, St. Michael's, and Christ Church. The principal of these is St. Michael's, itself almost a cathedral, whose peculiar and slender spire—that in the centre—rises to a height of 303 feet. The town is singularly rich in domestic architecture of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, timbered houses abounding on all sides. St. Mary's Hall, belonging to the Corporation, dates from 1450. The industrial history of Coventry is chequered and peculiar. Losing in succession a flourishing trade in woollens, blue dyes, silk-weaving and ribbons, and quite lately in watches, it has now eclipsed them all as the centre of manufacture for bicycles and tricycles.
