Coventry city walls Coventry ' s city walls are a sequence of defensive structures built around the city of Coventry in England . History . The city of Coventry was not walled until the 14th century ; by the beginning of the 13th century the city was surrounded by ditches and had movable " bars " controlling access to the main routes in and out the city , but there were no proper defensive walls . Reflecting Coventry ' s commercial and strategic importance , construction began on new city walls in the 1350s , with the mayor of Coventry , Richard Stoke , recorded as laying the first stone in 1356 . The construction effort started at New Gate and was initially finished in around 1400 , but much repair work and re - routing was subsequently carried out to accommodate the expanding city and the walls were not finally completed until 1534 . The walls measured nearly around and consisting of two red sandstone walls infilled with rubble over thick and high , with 32 towers including 12 gatehouses . The twelve city gates were titled New Gate , Gosford Gate , Bastille Gate ( later Mill Gate ) , Priory Gate ( Swanswell Gate ) , Cook Street Gate , Bishop Gate , Well Street Gate , Hill Street Gate , Spon Gate , Greyfriars Gate , Cheylesmore Gate and Little Park Street Gate . The building work was paid for by murage , by which the king allowed a city to raise taxes on the imports of particular goods , and assisted by King Richard II allowing stone to be quarried from his park in Cheylesmore . Later , some towers along the wall were let to private citizens , on the condition that they assisted in maintaining stretches of the defences . Watchmen for the walls and gates were provided by dividing Coventry into ten wards , each of which had the task of providing a number of men on a rotating basis . With its walls , Coventry was described as being the best - defended city in England outside London . The city of Coventry faced few military threats , however , and the decision to build the walls appears to have been driven by political and economic drivers - walls were important symbolically to a city ' s leading citizens and in turn could bring additional trade . The decision to build the walls in the 1350s appears to be linked to the " Tripartite Indenture " of Coventry in 1355 , which established a common local government for the city . The walls were maintained into the 17th century and were repaired during the English Civil War of the 1640s . In 1662 , after the restoration of the monarchy , in revenge for the support Coventry gave to the Parliamentarians during the Civil War , the city walls were demolished on the orders of King Charles II . In the 21st century only two of the medieval gates survive - Swanswell Gate and Cook Street Gate - and some small sections of walling . The remaining wall circuit is protected as a Grade I listed building and a scheduled monument .

ASRAD - R ASRAD - R ( Advanced Short Range Air Defence System - RBS ) is a vehicle - mounted short - range air defense system , designed by a joint German - Swedish effort between Rheinmetall and Saab Bofors Dynamics . The system is modular and can be mounted on almost any wheeled or tracked vehicle . It has for instance been demonstrated mounted on a M113 Armoured personnel carrier . Normally the same vehicle carries both the main sensor and the main effector of the system . However , thanks to the systems modularity , it can also be delivered in a split configuration with one vehicle carrying the main sensor and several other vehicles carrying the missiles . The main sensor is Saab ' s ( Formerly Ericsson Microwave System ) HARD AESA 3D air search radar with an instrumented range of 20 km or an IRST , depending upon the customers specifications . The effector is the latest version of the Saab Bofors Dynamics RBS 70 Surface - to - air missile , called BOLIDE . The missile is a laser beam - riding short range missile equipped with a highly effective proximity fuze . It is supposed to be effective against cruise missile s . Each unit is equipped with four ready - to - fire missiles and an optical day / night sight to continually point the laser beam at the target . This means the system makes use of ACLOS type of guidance . Since the laser receiver is located at the back of the missile the system is practically immune to jamming but the method can be hampered by very low - visibility atmospheric conditions . Finland placed the first order in August 2002 . The Finnish systems are mounted on Sisu Nasu s ( 4 units ) and Mercedes - Benz Unimog 5000 L / 38 4x4s ( 12 units ) . Each battery also has four RBS 70 MANPADS launchers with Bolide missiles .
