Coventry people generally associate Foleshill with the Foleshill Road, the historic main road north out of the city. The historic parish of Foleshill, however, was centred further east around Old Church Road, the old church in question being the parish church of St. Laurence, set back from the road in a wooded churchyard. The road itself still has a number of vernacular cottages and Victorian houses among the modern suburbia, as well as a 19th century Wesleyan chapel (not visible here). Old Church Road leads to Bell Green, and Dewis House, the tower block at Riley Square, can be seen in the distance.
