Spon End Building Preservation Trust (S.E.B.P.T.) is the organisation behind Black Swan Terrace and the Weaver’s House. We are a community organisation and a registered charity run by volunteers. 

In Spon Street, one of the most historic streets in Coventry, a terrace of six cottages built in 1455 has been brought back to life. Now known as Black Swan Terrace, these buildings have been homes and workplaces for weavers, farm workers, watchmakers and workers in the cycle and motor industries, they have been used as a pub, shops, and workshops making cars and even an aeroplane.

The Weaver’s House
One of the cottages has been restored to show how it would have looked in 1540. This shows how John Croke, a Coventry narrow-loom weaver and his family would have lived and worked. You can also see a replica of the loom that he would have used on one of our Open Days.
