Historic England has released hundreds of unseen images of Coventry Cathedral's construction.
The famous cathedral stands proudly in the heart of the city centre and plays an important part in Coventry's history. It was heavily bombed, along with the rest of the city, on the night of 14th November 1940 during World War II.
Despite the devastating impact on the cathedral, Coventry Cathedral was rebuilt between the mid 1950s and 1962, as a symbol of reconciliation and peace.
Now people will be able to see images of the Cathedral's construction for the first time, to mark this incredible moment in history.
Take a look at some of the never-seen-before images below.
