The settlement of Spon developed to the west of the city of Coventry in the Middle Ages. It is mentioned in the early 13th century, while the Spon Bridge over the Sherbourne, visible at the right of this photo, is known to have been in existence by the end of the century; see the Victoria County History of Warwickshire vol 8 pp1-23 https://www.british-history.ac.uk/vch/warks/vol8/pp1-23 . Now known as Spon End, the area preserves many buildings from the 17th century or earlier. This row of house was given Grade II listed status in 1974; see the Historic England website here https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1076600 .
