"In 1911 when ex-councillor Howells was developing the Harefield estate between the Stoke Road and Walsgrave Road an unusual find was made. Stonework was revealed and the men uncovered the huge remains of a set of mediaeval tile kilns…" See David McGrory. The Illustrated History of Coventry's Suburbs. Derby: Breedon Books, 2003.
