The buildings known as Whitefriars are the surviving fragments of a Carmelite friary founded in 1342 in Coventry, England. All that remains are the eastern cloister walk, a postern gateway in Much Park Street and the foundations of the friary church. It was initially home to a friary until the dissolution of the monasteries. During the 16th century it was owned by John Hales and served as King Henry VIII School, Coventry, before the school moved to St John's Hospital, Coventry. It was home to a workhouse during the 19th century. The buildings are currently used by Herbert Art Gallery and Museum, Coventry. The cloister walk that remains would have been one of four when the friary was in use and is constructed from red sandstone. The wooden roof of the building is not an original but thought to have been brought from a nearby building during the 16th century. Little of the original buildings remain; only one cloister wing and the original gateway (which was used as a toy museum until 2008) still stand. Various institutions in Coventry are named after the friary such as Whitefriars Ale House and Whitefriars Housing Group.

Coventry Zoo was a zoo located in Whitley, Coventry, England. Its owners and directors were members of the famous Chipperfield circus family. The seven and a half acre site was opened to the public in 1966, attracting over 8,000 visitors on the peak day of its first week. However the success did not last long as within a decade local papers were reporting on the "shabbiness, lack of amenities and the conditions in which the animals were kept". Adding to the problems keeper Richard McCormack was charged by a two tonne hippo named Harry and suffered cracked ribs, broken collarbones, a crushed liver and bite marks. Also a leopard called Zac escaped in 1972, although he was later recaptured without injuring anyone. A dolphinarium housed in a geodesic dome was in operation between 1972 and 1975, housing two animals, Chipper and Nero. In 1975 the pair were re-housed at Tierpark Hagenbeck in Hamburg, Germany. The zoo closed in 1980 and the site was sold off and developed as a sports club (currently David Lloyd Leisure) in 1983. A memorable feature of the zoo was the 35 foot (10.6 metre) tall fibreglass Impi which stood over the entrance. After the park closed the figure was considered lost until 2011 when its head was found being kept in a local resident's garden. Since then the fate of the head is unknown.
