The images on the mural range from dinosaurs to watch, cycle and car manufacturing. The mural also has elevational views of buildings in Coventry, especially the new post-war buildings such as the Belgrade Theatre, Hotel Leofric and Broadgate House. The artwork also includes Sir Basil Spence's design for the old and new Cathedral and the churches of St John the Divine for Willenhall, St Oswald's in Tile Hill and St Chad's in Wood End. The sculpture was restored and relocated from the top end of the Lower Precinct in 2002.
