View of Coventry fire from Crew Lane, Kenilworth Looking from Crew Lane, Kenilworth, showing the huge plume of smoke which was rising from a blaze at the warehouse of Ney Ltd, Siskin Drive, Coventry (in SP3675). News reports said that fire crews rushed to the scene next to Coventry Airport, at about 5pm. This photo was taken at about 6.45pm. More than 100 firefighters, with 15 fire engines fought the blaze. The smoke was visible from many miles away - news reports said it was visible from the M1 and the Belfry near Sutton Coldfield, whilst I saw it from Longbridge on the M40 south of Warwick.

The Ney Ltd building (before the fire) can be seen in the background of Robin Stott's photo here: <a href="https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1697223">SP3675 : Middlemarch over the Avon</a>
