The illuminated letters that once spelled RICOH on the Ricoh Arena in Coventry have found a new temporary home, and arrangement, at the Delia Derbyshire building of Coventry University, where they overlook Cox Street and the cathedral.
The letters can be seen in their original home and order here
SP3483 : Coventry, The Ricoh Arena. Sixteen years of sponsorship of the sports stadium by the Japanese corporation Ricoh came to an end in July 2021 and it acquired a new name, and sponsor, Coventry Building Society Arena (see
SP3483 : The no-longer-Ricoh Arena, Coventry). The letters came down and were salvaged by BBC CWR (Coventry & Warwickshire Radio), leading to their new life as an art installation. For more information see this Coventry University press release
