Installation to mark the 85th anniversary of the Coventry Blitz

A Major installation marking the 85th Blitz anniversary is heading to Coventry City Centre

A massive installation inspired by the iconic Cathedral Ruins is set to mark the 85th anniversary of the Blitz in Broadgate Coventry city Centre.

The  20 metre structure created by artist Olivier Grossetête, will “rise as a symbol of remembrance, resilience, and the extraordinary strength found in unity”, said Coventry City Council.

The structure which will be made of thousands of cardboard pieces was inspired by the ruins of the city’s cathedral after a 12-hour raid by German bombers on 14 November 1940 where 550 people were killed.

Cllr Abdul Salam Khan said the temporary landmark will serve as a symbol of remembrance, resilience, and the extraordinary power of unity that Coventry embodied during WWII

volunteers are needed to build the structure. Free workshops on the project will be held daily from Monday November 10 to the Saturday, and those taking part will be invited to help construct the artwork

Those who visit the temporary structure over the weekend can talk to the artist and creators of the piece, which will remain in Broadgate until 15:00 on Sunday 16 November.
