Booth's Fields, Foleshill

This 'off-road' terrace of houses, fronting onto a footpath, dates from the early 20th century; the OS Six Inch 1888-1913 Series map https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=16&lat=52.44003&lon=-1.49592&layers=6&right=osm shows a footpath, only partly built up and without these houses, in Little Heath on the northern edge of Coventry. The path today forms Booth's Fields and its eastern continuation, an alley called Bacon's Yard; they connect Lythalls Lane and Foleshill Road, and are now deep in the built-up area of the city.
