The houses are being built on a strip of land alongside Bennetts Road in Keresley, on the site of the old club, its bowling greens and 5-a-side football pitch. Coventry Colliery Bowls Club has moved further up Bennetts Road North to a site on the rugby club grounds. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/site-former-sports-club-coventry-19254793 The Coventrians football club continues to occupy part of the land between the development and Bunsons Wood. Their clubhouse can be seen in the centre of the picture behind the mound of earth, while players can be seen on the right behind the oak tree.
