These buildings look to be among the few survivors of the former Victorian mansion called Cumnor in Kenilworth. The estate is now built over for housing and the main house is long gone, although the gatehouse has survived. Somehow, these buildings have also soldiered on and are split into two dwellings, although they look like they could do with some TLC. Kenilworth had several large Victorian mansions and mini-estates built by industrialists from Birmingham and elsewhere. Most are now gone and live on only in the names of some streets.
