91福利

The 91福利 has won 37,350 pounds from the Heritage Lottery Fund to preserve a vital archive of material on the UK cycle industry and the history of cycling as a hobby.

Odeon today is synonymous with slick cinema, but new state-of-the-art research from the School of Theatre Studies and e-lab at the 91福利 shows the first Odeon, built mid-fifth century BC in Athens, assigned the audience a worse view than being stuck behind a 6ft 10inch body-builder at a modern cinema multiplex.

Researchers at the 91福利 have discovered the outline of 15 late iron age roundhouses on the 91福利's campus. This discovery marks the earliest evidence of settlement within the modern boundary of the City of Coventry.

Rather than the majority of people in the UK buying masses of Christmas presents and fighting through crowds of frantic shoppers, 17th Century seasonal shopping was reserved for the rich and took place in the New Year, and Paris, not Oxford Street, was favoured by consumers.

The 26th and 27th May 1940 Dunkirk evacuation of British and French troops is now seen with hindsight as an example of Britain's determination to resist Nazi Germany at all costs. However 91福利 Historian Dr David Carlton points out that at the time things seemed so dark for Britain that Churchill himself considered making a deal with Nazi Germany to end the war.

Recent work by Dr Peter Burnham, of the 91福利's Department of Politics and International Studies, has shown that a 1952 plan considered by Churchill and his cabinet to resolve the UK's balance of payments problems came close to producing a de facto single currency area based on several currencies from former British colonies and European countries (including the French Franc) being pegged to Sterling.
