This photo reproduces the first Geograph for this square: Image, taken by David Stowell on a sunny 18th of April 2005. The view is wider-angle than David's but the viewpoint is the same, the corner of Lilac Grove. Spinney Hill and Greville Road form a racetrack distributor through northeast Warwick. The street trees in David's view along with others have been removed recently. old-maps.co.uk shows that development north of the canal, both industry and residential, proceeded slowly from around 1900. The Spinney Hill estates, private and local authority, were in place on a map of 1968-71. Woodloes Park to the west was developed later, between the mid-1970s and the early 1980s. Blacklow Spinney, that gives the area its name and is seen in the background, first appears on a map of 1925 as mixed woodland. Today it is a local nature reserve.
