The road on the right was the unnamed road that served the L&NWR (later LMS) Avenue Station, a private road at the time of the photograph. Station Approach, left, a public road, first appears on an OS map of 1966-70, by which time the railway station was disused. A bus station is shown along here; previously there were allotments between the low wall, centre, and the rear boundaries of Avenue Road properties, left. The former railway land, right, was for a long time home to a car dealership. The cleared site is now a long stay car park, convenient for the existing (former GWR) station. At the time of the photo, development proposals had failed to satisfy the planning committee of Warwick District Council. Corrected and updated July 2016: redevelopment now appears to be on the cards.
