Godiva's iron horse has been put out to grass, or asphalt, on an industrial estate on Henley Road. The horse, and the fifty seat cycle that powered it, were built by Imagineer to transport a giant puppet of Lady Godiva from Coventry to London for the Cultural Olympiad that accompanied the London Olympic Games of 2012. For more information see the Imagineer site LinkExternal link . Horse and puppet can be seen in Broadgate in central Coventry here SP3379 : Lady Godiva puppet in Broadgate.
