Queensferry Close, Bilton The flats here were built in the 1950s by the English Electric Company - then a major employer in Rugby - to house its workers. The name came about because the company had a manufacturing plant in Queensferry. For some years after it was built the estate that includes these flats was called Kingsway (the company's headquarters were on Kingsway in London), but the name is seldom used now.

Frobisher Road, Bilton Frobisher Road forms the spine of the Admirals Estate where all the streets are named after British admirals - some better known than others. The area was developed around the 1970s, consisting mostly of semi-detached houses built for the private market. As is often the way nowadays, there seem to be more parked cars than the infrastructure can comfortably accommodate even though a regular bus service passes this way.

Path to Apple Grove At about 3pm on this November Sunday afternoon, snow began to fall across the Rugby area following a stormy weekend. In this view it was beginning to settle and would lay overnight, but not at a depth to cause any serious disruption.

Cawston Grange Shops The modern Cawston Grange estate is served by this row of shops comprising a fish and chip shop called Waves, Chinese Chef takeaway, a hairdressers, and a Coop convenience store. Even though this is a Sunday morning, it is unusual to see the car park completely empty.

Apple Grove Play Area, Bilton The play area is tucked away at the end of Apple Grove, adjacent to open country and Henry Hinde Junior School. Note that the barrier designed to prevent motorcycles using the path has been painted in the colours of the Ukraine flag. This is an expression of solidarity with the Ukrainian people as they defend their country against the Russian invasion.

Old railway near Bilton This stretch of the old Rugby - Leamington railway has been kept clear and makes for a pleasant traffic-free path especially after a spell of dry weather with no mud underfoot. Passenger services on this route were withdrawn in 1959 but freight trains continued until 1985.

Postbox topper at Bilton The practice of topping postboxes with knitted or crocheted designs ('yarn bombing') has reached the Rugby suburbs. Here, outside Bilton Post Office, is one interpretation of the platinum jubilee theme featuring some British icons and the royal corgis.

Postbox topper outside Bilton Post Office The postbox outside Bilton Post Office on Main Street has acquired a Christmas-themed topper, part of which is seen here, featuring a Royal Mail van and a postbox, on a cold frosty morning. Behind that the post office itself lists its extensive services. Even in these days of e-cards and courier parcel delivery services, the Post Office and Royal Mail are still inextricably linked with Christmas.

Snowdrops Of all garden bulbs, snowdrops are surely the most popular. Their white flowers, that usually start to appear towards the end of January, tell us that the winter won't last forever and that spring is just around the corner.

Snowdrops - the heralds of spring Described by the Royal Horticultural Society as the 'Heralds of Spring' these little plants, with their delicate-looking flowers, are in fact very hardy; they will appear year after year in late winter without any human intervention and are well able to withstand harsh weather conditions. Naturally a woodland species, they adorn many gardens and parks and most people find them a delight.
