Firstly
under
the
direction
of
Bob
Hall
and
now
his
son
Robert,
the
enterprise
has
made
a
major
contribution
to
housing
in
the
North
East
of
the
city.
The
company
now
builds
for
rental
purposes
only.
This
means
that
it
is
in
the
firm’s
interest
to
build
well
and
to
reduce
future
maintenance
costs,
by
putting
a
priority
on
quality
rather
than
speed, therefore ensuring that tenants have the benefits of lower costs and sustainable homes.

in
setting
up
a
building
and
joinery
company
known
as
“Hall
Bros”,
based
in
Walsgrave,
Coventry.
Bob

served
a

year

set
up

business
with
a

loan
that
Charles
had

with

deeds
of

in

Hall
Bros
is
a
unique
enterprise
which
has
been
based
in
the
Walsgrave
area
of
Coventry
for
over
ninety
years,
under
the
direction
of
Bob
Hall
and
his
son,
Robert.
The
company
has
made
a
major
contribution
to
housing
and
infrastructure
in
this
part
of
the
city
and
the
workforce
has
been
an
integral
part
of
the
community.
As
well
as
developing
a
reputation
for
solid
construction
work
of
high
quality,
the
company
has
continually
supported
training
and
development,
with
a
huge
number
of
local
apprentices
and
trainees
passing through the firm.
Our Story
In
1900
Charles
Adolphus
Hall
left
Barbados
to
find
work
in
the
“mother
country”.
He
arrived
in
the
Stoke
area
of
Coventry
in
1908,
via
Scotland
and
Newcastle-on-Tyne
and
became
the
first
African
Caribbean
to
settle
in
the
City.
He
worked
as
a
millwright
at
the
Daimler
works
for
forty
years,
earning
an
award
of
merit
and
a
gold
medal
from
the
engineering
union.
In
spite
of
the
extensive
racial
prejudice
prevailing
at
the
time,
Charles
played
a
full
and
active
life
in
the
local
community,
playing
cricket
for
Foleshill
Albion
and
regularly
attending
Stoke
St.
Michael’s
church
with
his
wife,
Sarah
Ann.
His
is
an
extraordinary
story
of
perseverance
and
endeavour
in
the
face
of
difficult circumstances.
The Early Years
Early
motor
car
bodies
were
made
of
wooden
frames
and
the
firm’s
first
venture
in
joinery
manufacturing
was
to
supply
these
frames
to
the
Daimler
works
from
their
joinery
factory.
Eventually
the
brothers
moved
on
to
construct
many
hundreds
of
flats,
houses
and
factory
units,
mainly
in
the
Wyken,
Walsgrave
and
Holbrooks
areas,
contributing
enormously
to
the
post-war
reconstruction
of
the
city.
The
very
first
houses
were
built
in
Woodway
Lane,
adjacent
to
Sowe
Common
in
1933.
Bob
never
neglected
to
remind
anyone
that
he
had
laid
every
single
brick
in
all
four
properties!
Before
the
war
the
brothers
built
more
houses
in
Farren
Road,
Ansty
Road
and elsewhere in the city.
1945 to the 1960s
On
demobilisation
in
1945
the
business
resumed
trading
in
an
era
of
rapid
redevelopment,
building
primarily
council
houses
to
house
the
ever
growing
population
of
the
City.
There
were
several
other
significant
developments
around
this
time:
Hinckley
Road,
Shirley
Road
and
Regina
Crescent
were
the
first
private
developments
after
the
war
of
semi-
detached
houses
and
bungalows,
built
by
the
company
in
1955.
Also
completed were houses in Monks Parks, The Barnfield and Bell Green.
The
company
was
also
engaged
in
contracting
and
a
major
project
was
a
new
factory
for
the
expanding
AP
Metalcraft,
a
local
company
specialising
in
pressed
metal
work,
doing
much
work
for
the
Admiralty
and
for
Coventry’s
rapidly
expanding
industrial
base.
The
relationship
with
this
company
continued
for
over
sixty
years.
Another
project
of
which
Bob
was
particularly
proud
was
the
construction
of
the
new
Salvation
Army
Citadel
in
Camden
Street, Stoke.
Shulman’s
Walk,
Mardol
Close
and
Gresley
Road
were
developments
principally
of
bungalows,
some
of
which
were
intended
for
nuclear
families,
which at the time was an innovative development.
Houses
were
built
on
the
Stoke
Hill
Estate
and
the
Primrose
Park
Estate
in
the
early
1970s
which
were
a
mixture
of
semi-detached
and
terraced
houses
for
sale,
followed
by
flats
in
Earle
Court
and
bungalows
in
Regis
Walk.
Wootton
Court
was
a
significant
entry
to
the
private
lettings
arena,
in
the
days
of
rent
regulation.
This
is
a
three
storey
block
of
apartments
on
the
corner
of
Henley
Road
and
Wyken
Croft.
It
remains
typical
of
the
construction of that period.
1970s to the 1990s
Wootton Court
In
1970
Bob’s
son
Robert
entered
the
business
full
time
and
became
General
Manager
of
the
company.
The
late
1970s
also
saw
the
start
of
the
Mount
Pleasant
Estate,
following
many
years
of
discussions
with
the
planning
authorities.
This
is
a
major
mixed
development
which
incorporates
family
homes,
sheltered
accommodation,
shared
ownership
apartments,
and
retail
and
leisure
development.
The
final
phase
of
this development is currently under construction.
An
early
phase
was
the
construction
of
family
homes
in
Manfield
Avenue,
followed
by
sheltered
accommodation
at
Marsh
House,
built
for
the
New
Hestia
Housing
Association.
This
was
followed
by
detached
houses
in
Turlands
Close
and
more
houses,
bungalows
and
maisonettes
in
Shuna
Croft
and
The
Kintyre.
The
naming
of
the
roads
on
many
of
the
developments
reflected old Bob’s deep affection for Scotland where he spent many holidays.
The
Henley
Industrial
Estate
was
built
by
the
firm
in
a
joint
development
with
AP
Metalcraft
Ltd
in
the
mid
1980s.
This
consisted
of
fourteen
new
industrial
units
and
eventually
the
conversion
of
the
firm’s
offices
and
joinery
works
into
a
further
unit
and
the
existing
petrol
station
to
a
retail
outlet.
Willow
Courtyard
was
a
small
private
courtyard
development
for
the
over
55s
in
two
storey
blocks
with
mainly
two
bedroom
apartments.
The
Old
Yard
is
a
substantial
single
site
development
of
eighty-six
apartments
on
the
site
of
the
firm’s
old
building
yard
and
joinery
factory.
This
was
designed
primarily
for
young
professionals,
mainly
associated
with
the
nearby
University
Hospital.
It
is
a
proud
boast
that
every
single
brick
on
the
site
was
laid
by
a
current
or
former
student
of
City
College,
Coventry.
The
development
was
officially
opened
in
2004
by
Sir
John
Gains,
the
then
Chairman
of
the
Construction
Confederation
and
Group
Chief
Executive
of
Mowlem
plc,
and
a
former
student
at
King
Henry
VIII
School in Coventry.
More Recent Developments
Bronte
Walk
is
a
development
completed
on
the
site
of
former
horticultural
nurseries
at
Longfellow
Road
which
had
fallen
into
disrepair
and
was
causing
a
local
nuisance
to
neighbours.
The
much
sought
after
eighteen
apartments
located
there
have
created
a
vibrant
community.
Harmony
Court
and
Mull
Court
are
single
blocks
of
apartments
catering
for
young
professionals
and
also
the
more
elderly,
completed
in
the
late
2000’s.

of
the
