The Old Windmill, Spon Street, Coventry

This historic, timber-framed Coventry pub has survived redevelopment and war. The building to the left is one of a number of timber-framed structures that were moved from their original sites to Spon Street, but the Old Windmill has stayed put and is not moving anywhere. It is Grade II listed, for group value, and is described in the listing at the Historic England site as 16th century or earlier, altered Link

. Rob Orland's Historic Coventry site gives a list of licensees going back to 1828. The two premises in the building were united around 1842; the yard behind the building on the left hand side was enclosed in 1985 Link

A view from the bridge over the Upper Precinct in a similar direction to E Gammie's 2009 and 2011 views SP3379 : Precinct crossing, Coventry and SP3379 : Precinct crossroads The biggest change in the intervening years has been the addition of the roof over the Lower Precinct.

Lady Godiva under the canopy, 1990

A view from the entrance to the Cathedral Lanes shopping centre towards the Precinct. The tent-like canopy was erected as part of the Cathedral Lanes development in the 1980's. Many people disliked it as soon as it was completed, and it was finally removed in 2008.

Red hawthorn, Hearsall Common

A lone red-blossomed hawthorn stands out at the corner of the fairground and playing field areas of Hearsall Common. There are more, planted alongside Hearsall Lane, in the background.

Red and white hawthorns

Red hawthorns, planted alongside Hearsall Lane (B4101), contrast with the white common hawthorn blossom on the far side of Hearsall Common. Another sunny day after the driest April since 1938*, a brisk easterly breeze bending the tops of the poplars and adding to the drying effect. With no rain imminent the grass, already looking a bit tired, isn't going to get much greener. * Month's rainfall total: 3.5mm

Beechwood Avenue and hawthorn blossom

A mass of hawthorn blossom lines the approach to the bridge over the Coventry-Birmingham railway line. Compare with 18th May 2013 when the blossom had not yet appeared, due to a late spring: SP3178 : Beechwood Avenue

Meandering path, Hearsall Common

The desired route from A to B is not necessarily a straight line. There is no reason for this unofficial path from Hearsall Lane to Beechwood Avenue to curve but it does. It seems that people, like rivers, prefer to meander. The route does not usually show, but a recent long spell of dry weather has resulted in less grass regrowth - see Link for a comparative view at the same time of year in 2007.

Clarendon Street, Earlsdon

In the foreground the stump is all that remains of a copper beech (visible in SP3178 : 27-31 Clarendon Street, Earlsdon) felled in April 2011 as it was diseased. The stump is approximately 1m in diameter and it was thought the tree was over 200 years old. The housing in the background shows a variety of styles from the 19th and 20th century.

Fairmount, Clarendon Street

A "Watchmaking Heritage Trail 2000" blue plaque on the building reads: "Built in 1895 for Arthur Morgan on his return from America. Foreman at Rotherham's & Sons clock & watch manufacturers"

Clarendon and Westwood House

Earlsdon was developed as a suburb of Coventry in the mid 19th century. This substantial pair of three-storey semi-detached houses in Clarendon Street were built to the requirements of father and son watchmakers William and Joseph Richardson and were occupied by them in 1855. The building included provision of top shops at the rear for production of watches. Other later occupants included Alfred Herbert (who started a machine tool manufacturing company) and Frederick Gibberd who became an architect (Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral, Harlow New Town amongst others).
