Brooklands Hostel Coventry

[Bwin]

Hello

I wonder if anyone can help me find out more about Brooklands Hostel in Coundon, Coventry. I think it may have been what was described as an 'industrial hostel' but I'm not sure.  I think a lot of Irish people were staying there in the early 1950's and I am particularly interested in the period 1950-53 because the electoral records show my Father as living there at that time. Photographs or anything about life there would be very helpful, but any information or suggestions would be gratefully received.

Many thanks for your help
