Riddle 1:

FOUND!

I am both young and old with stories to tell, parts of me can be described as just a shell. Where Coventry is celebrated and shines so bright, the voices of choirs are heard through the night.

Who am I?


 

Riddle 2:

FOUND!

A place of discovery to broaden the mind, a gentleman’s name I have entwined. Decorated in culture, my walls know more than most. Some say I can be dippy but I try my utmost.

Who am I?


 

Riddle 3:

FOUND!

Where curiosity grows, and wheels turn, I am home to record breakers and a place to learn. Driving you into Coventry’s history, I should never be just a mystery.

Who am I?
