Formerly known as Whor Lane, Beechwood Avenue was one of the lanes around Coventry pre-dating the surrounding housing. Its name was changed at the suggestion of the residents of the new estates nearby in the early 20th century, becoming Beechwood Avenue in 1912/13. Here, the older houses have their backs to the avenue and the copper beeches are at the edge of gardens to flats built in the third quarter of the 20th century.
