History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

Coventry Cathedral

Winston Churchill tours the roofless ruins of Coventry Cathedral after it was almost completely destroyed by a World War II bombing in November of 1940. Located in West Midlands, England, St. Michael's Cathedral, as it became known, was constructed between the late 14th and early 15th centuries.

In the post-war years, a new cathedral was erected directly adjacent to the old cathedral ruins, as seen in the above picture.
