Artist Tim Mills presents photographic outcomes co-created with communities on The Burges.
Drop In | FREE with admission
Artist Tim Mills presents photographic outcomes co-created with communities on The Burges, during his one year Picturing High Streets Residency. The installation at the Coventry Transport Museum is part of the legacy of a multifaceted project.
A third of the shops on the Burges are occupied by fast-food restaurants and takeaways, with bicycle delivery riders forming a significant community of people that provide food courier services throughout the city. Coventry has a distinguished and unique bicycle manufacturing heritage. From the first velocipedes built in 1868, the city went on to become the home of the British cycle industry and at one time produced the greatest output of cycles in the world.
Tim Mills has explored the history of this industry whilst involving the delivery riders on The Burges to produce a contemporary portrait that highlights their lives and work. The project includes stories of migration and of refugees in relation to Coventry’s role as a city of peace, reconciliation and sanctuary, interpreted in the photographs.
The installation that can be seen at Coventry Transport Museum relates to the themes embedded during Tim’s Picturing High Streets Residency: exploring industries that defined the city of the past and those that shape it today; examining ideas of arrivals, departures and transience; and working with an important community of people that provide goods and services in the area.
Picturing High Streets is a three year project by Historic England and Photoworks to create a contemporary portrait of England’s high streets, part of Historic England’s government-funded High Streets Heritage Action Zone scheme.
GRAIN Projects is the lead regional partner on Picturing High Streets delivering projects in Coventry, Stoke on Trent and Walsall.
Herbert Art Gallery & Museum is a great place to delve into Coventry’s history and engage with art and culture.
The venue is also home to Dippy the dinosaur – a life-size, plaster-of-paris replica of a Diplodocus carnegii skeleton.
Tickets can be booked in advance, with a limited amount available for walk ins on the day.
Coventry’s hidden gem, St Mary’s Guildhall, is one of the finest Guildhalls in the country. A rare survivor of the English Civil War and the Blitz, it has reopened as a visitor attraction following a £6 million programme of restoration.
With its rich history of partying, power and propaganda, St Mary’s Guildhall has acted as the centre of power in England during the War of the Roses, housed the crown jewels, been the prison of Mary Queen of Scots and hosted famous literary figures, such as George Eliot.
Located on Bayley Lane in Coventry city centre’s Cathedral quarter, St Mary’s Guildhall is now open seven days a week. Visitors of all ages can discover its many stories with brand new cutting-edge digital tours and augmented reality, where figures from the past come to life.
A Guildhall full of fascinating stories
Ruling the city: The ancient St Mary’s Guildhall survives the Second World War as an emblem of medieval Coventry’s resilience and rebirth.
Food and feasting: The Guildhall’s medieval kitchen became a soup kitchen to feed Coventry’s poor and destitute during great hardship in the 1800s.
Masters of the medieval era: The Guildhall’s Armoury room became the weapon store for the successful defence of the city following repeated royalist attacks.
Fit for royalty: Between 1569 and 1570, 27 year old Mary Queen of Scots was detained at St Mary’s Guildhall on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I ‘for her own protection’.
Accessibility

Elizabeth Gaskell’s last novel, Wives and Daughters, explored the position of women in 19th century society and the pressure on them to marry. Her book had much to say about marriage, including storylines like Mrs Gibson’s marriage of necessity, Cynthia’s secret engagement and Molly’s hoped-for love-match. Now we compare fiction with reality in this special dual talk on Unmarried Women.
Firstly, popular speaker Elizabeth Williams explores the life and options for unmarried women in Wives and Daughters and other Elizabeth Gaskell novels. How did the writer view marriage? Did she suggest other options to her readers?
Secondly, writer Charlotte Furness introduces four historical women who each challenged and defied the societal expectations of their times by making the conscious decision not to marry a man. She brings to light the life and times of Anne Lister of Shibden Hall, Elizabeth Isham of Lamport Hall, Anne Robinson of Saltram and Rosalie Chichester of Arlington Court. To what extent could these real women live the life they wanted?
Join us for an evening looking at unmarried women in fact and fiction.
PS We know that Anne Lister was, now rather famously, actually married to another woman but we are looking at women who rejected social expectations of traditional marriage.
• Elizabeth Williams taught in a variety of institutions including schools, colleges, the British Council in Finland and a mental hospital. She has been chairwoman of the Gaskell Society and a trustee of Elizabeth Gaskell’s House.
• Charlotte Furness is a writer and heritage historian, exploring women’s history and the history of the country house. She previously worked for English Heritage, Lamport Hall, Harewood House, Temple Newsam House, Renishaw Hall and more. She is author of Lady of the House and Unmarried Women of the Country Estate. You can visit her website via this link to Charlotte Furness website.
‘Elizabeth Williams conveyed her intimate knowledge of Gaskell’s life and works lightly and easily. I learnt a lot, quickly and effortlessly.’ Audience member

Coventry’s hidden gem, St Mary’s Guildhall, is one of the finest Guildhalls in the country. A rare survivor of the English Civil War and the Blitz, it has reopened as a visitor attraction following a £6 million programme of restoration.
With its rich history of partying, power and propaganda, St Mary’s Guildhall has acted as the centre of power in England during the War of the Roses, housed the crown jewels, been the prison of Mary Queen of Scots and hosted famous literary figures, such as George Eliot.
Located on Bayley Lane in Coventry city centre’s Cathedral quarter, St Mary’s Guildhall is now open seven days a week. Visitors of all ages can discover its many stories with brand new cutting-edge digital tours and augmented reality, where figures from the past come to life.
A Guildhall full of fascinating stories
Ruling the city: The ancient St Mary’s Guildhall survives the Second World War as an emblem of medieval Coventry’s resilience and rebirth.
Food and feasting: The Guildhall’s medieval kitchen became a soup kitchen to feed Coventry’s poor and destitute during great hardship in the 1800s.
Masters of the medieval era: The Guildhall’s Armoury room became the weapon store for the successful defence of the city following repeated royalist attacks.
Fit for royalty: Between 1569 and 1570, 27 year old Mary Queen of Scots was detained at St Mary’s Guildhall on behalf of Queen Elizabeth I ‘for her own protection’.
