Coventry Arts Umbrella Club opened in Little Park Street, Coventry (seen in the photo) in 1955, with the official opening being conducted by The Goons. It was financed by West Midlands Arts. After its demolition in 1960, it re-opened in new premises at 18, Queen Victoria Rd - and again that premises was condemned and demolished at the end of 1972 and the Umbrella eventually (in 1974), moved to the Charterhouse on London Rd. It's hey days were the 50's / 60's and early 70's but a small group of poets are still keep something modest going.
