Time Team - History Hunters

Coventry, West Midlands - Watchmaking Sector (1x4)

Air date: Dec 12, 1998

Coventry is known for car manufacturing and the bombing of its cathedral, but did you know that, in the 18th and 19th centuries, it had a thriving watchmaking sector? This week, three teams of history hunters investigate the few remaining factory premises, the archives and the beautiful products of Coventry craftsmen to shed light on a little known corner of this city's history.
