Edwin was a journalist, author and Registrar of Births and Deaths in the city of Coventry at the turn of the twentieth century. In 1916 he rewrote and updated an old edition of a guidebook, Walks Thro'Coventry, During four city walks he leads us street by street, sharing tales of the origins and growth of the city. He describes the significant buildings and businesses of the day and transports us back to a different place, before two world wars, the decimation of the city by the Blitz and the rebuilding of modern Coventry. New illustrations and foreword by Paula Jeffery, Edwin's great, great granddaughter.
