Early 20th century terraced housing and shops on the left, industrial units on the right. The land to the right was originally occupied by Daimler and is where the first British produced Daimler car was made in 1897. The bus, a 1945 Daimler CWD6 (registration VV8934), is approaching the entrance to the former Coventry Transport Sandy Lane bus garage (where the people are standing) where it will put down/pick up passengers being shuttled between there and the Transport Museum as part of a Coventry City Transport centenary bus rally.
