Jordan Well crosses from lower right to upper left. In the immediate foreground is the roof of early 19th century Drapers Hall on the corner of Bayley Lane. To its right is a small green and the curved roof of Browns restaurant, which replaced the public toilets occupying what would have been the basement of the art gallery had its construction been completed on its intended site before WW2 intervened. Post-war the Herbert art gallery was constructed on the far side of Bayley Lane. On the far side of Jordan Well, on the right, are shops with flats above, constructed in the 1950s. To their left is Much Park Street and buildings of Coventry University. The Coventry University campus stretches beyond the ring road with the early 20th century William Morris building (a refurbished factory) and late 20th century Lanchester Library, amongst others. The chimney in the distance to the right is that of the Whitley waste reduction plant on London Road.
