Red House Park, Foleshill, with factory buildings beyond
Image: © A J Paxton Taken: 26 Aug 2021
This is a view of part of Red House Park on Stoney Stanton Road, Coventry, looking southwards to the factory buildings located between the park, Oliver Street and Cromwell Street. This district of Coventry was dominated by the Coventry Ordnance Works, an armaments factory, which closed in 1925, although some of its buildings survive. The factory buildings in this photo are not marked on the OS Six Inch map of 1912; if they were part of the ordnance works they were built after that date, perhaps during the first world war. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=52.42371&lon=-1.49354&layers=10&right=OSAPI For more on Red House Park see Image For a detail of the graffiti on the wall, see Image For more on the Coventry Ordnance Works see Image
