In its 50 year history Coventry Precinct has seen major changes and additions. Indeed even before it was built the original plans were altered several times before construction began. Some of the early plans bear little resemblance to the final design. For example the original idea was to maintain a road through the Precinct running along Smithford Way and Market Way.

Since it was built the Precinct has undergone many transformations. Compare some of the old views with what you can see now on the CWN WebCam.
