The Godiva clock, Coventry

This is truly eccentric. In one of the squares in the north of central Coventry is a clock, stuck high up on a nondescript wall above a newspaper shop. When the hour chimes, wooden doors slide open and round comes the legendary naked Lady Godiva on her horse. Just as she reaches the middle of her journey another door slides open revealing lecherous Peeping Tom. All very odd. Given the location I doubt whether many people ever see this strange hourly spectacle.

The extras are from the medieval Fords Hospital, one of the few nice buildings in Coventry just up the road from here.
