Wasn't that where that parrot was? I was really little, must have been 5 or 6. I remember the parrot saying things like "Speak to me!" and when I put money in it after pestering my nan, said "I like the sound of money. Here comes your present! Bye bye, mind how you go!" then you got some really naff toy like from a cheap Christmas cracker. But that didn't matter. It was about interacting with the parrot.
Thank you for filming this. I left Coventry some 31 years ago, but have fond memories of the Arcade. I am not sure I will get back to the City to see it before it is gone. You have captured it as it kind of slowly dies :( But it does stir nenories
Coventry city arcade was a gem in the 1970s.

Wow look at all those open shops!
I used to shop in the Virgin record shop there back in the 70s
Used to be some lovely Shops in the City Arcade , soon to be no more 😢😢

Very dystopian!

Needs regeneration.
