Brooklyn Road and its neighbour Matlock Road are a pair of dead-end streets that form part of a block of housing developed from 1901 in an area bounded by the canal, Foleshill Road and Cash's textile factory (the 'Hundred Houses'). See Fry, D & Smith, A, The Coventry we have lost: Forgotten Foleshill, Simanda Press, 2018, p19. In the distance can be seen new housing beyond Foleshill Road, built on the site of Webster's Brick & Tile Works.
