Wall of an early 20th century factory, which now forms part of the Fargo Village 'creative quarter', which opened in 2014. https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/news/article/fargo-village.html According to a wall plaque on the site, the factory was built in 1904 for making radiators for cars. The motor industry was certainly becoming established in the area at that time, with Calcott's factory at the city end of Far Gosford Street and Humber at the eastern, Stoke end.
