Slightly out of the ordinary traffic at the lights at the Hales Street / Bishop Street junction as steamroller Coventry Corporation No. 2 takes a nostalgic trundle round. On the left is the corner of the Old Grammar School and beyond it, Coventry Transport Museum. Small shops occupy the ground floors of the 19th century buildings on the right. The steamroller is a 1938 Aveling-Barford Ltd. no.151, retired from Coventry Corporation use in 1962. It was used to flatten patches to roads around the city. It is now in private ownership and regularly appears at rallies.
