Pair of semi-detached cottages with facade in chequerboard brick, facing onto Grange Road in Longford, on the northern fringe of Coventry. The house on the right was the birthplace in 1856 of the trade unionist Tom Mann and the plaque to the right of the door records this. Mann had a long career as a union organiser in Britain and Australia and was a founder of the Communist Party of Great Britain in 1920. A collection of his papers is held in Coventry at Warwick University. https://mrc-catalogue.warwick.ac.uk/records/TMM
