OH god, in Coventry it's all they talk about. But a tentative yes. It was flattened in WW2, but didn't have the clout of London so it was rebuilt as the utter hell hole it is now. However, there was still a lot of industry there (mostly cars) until the Thatcher era. And then that went away as well. Now there's two unis and that's about it
