Grange Road runs from Longford and Alderman's Green on the northern edge of Coventry over the canal to Hawkesbury. It is seen here from a gap in the fence of the Coventry Canal towpath. Truly an 'edgelands' landscape: pylons fanning out from the substation by the site of the coal-fired power station, a gantry over the M6 motorway just visible above the houses and trees at the centre right. To the right, Grange Farm, a vernacular farmhouse swallowed up by the city, to the left a row of late 19th century houses. The site in the foreground has been cleared for development, probably more housing.
