Garden in the town centre of Bedworth, next to the Nicholas Chamberlaine almshouses. A small sign in the garden describes it as the Roanne Garden and explains that it was opened in 2000 https://www.flickr.com/photos/ell-r-brown/38077602195. It neglects to mention that Roanne is the French twin town of Nuneaton & Bedworth borough https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuneaton. There is also no explanation of the jug sculpture, which an older photo on the Geograph site shows covered with a floral display. The building at the rear is the Nurse's House, part of the almshouse complex built in 1840 https://www.bedworth-society.co.uk/the-parsonage-project.
