F Geo Robinson Ltd was established in 1924 and prospered as Coventry’s engineering industries grew.
Coventry remained prosperous even through the economic slump of the 1930’s In fact during the 1930s the population of Coventry grew by 90,000. There had been yet another boundary extension in 1928 which brought even more districts within the city limits, F Geo Robinson was one of the developers bringing extensive new housing estates to the City.
The company had offices and an extensive Joinery workshop at it’s premises in Swan Lane, Coventry.
The offices used to be single storey and robustly finished with a reinforced concrete roof for its role as an ARP station during the 2nd World War.
The 1st floor was added subsequently following the purchase by F Geo Robinson Ltd
