Buildings on Allesley Old Road, either side of Craven Street. This side of the junction is The Four Provinces, marked on the 1888 and 1905 1:500 maps as Craven Lodge. It was bought by a group of Irish businessmen in the 1960s and opened in 1965 as a private members' club before becoming a pub in the early 2000s. See Image for a closer view. On the other side is 21 Allesley Street, marked on the 1888 1:500 map as Hearsall House and on the 1905 edition as Florance House. It was originally a master watchmaker's house with a long workshop extension to the rear. The building is now occupied by a celebration balloon maker. See Image for a closer view.
