Ringway St Johns
The new office building on St John's Street looks quite striking from here. However, the traffic noise is appalling - I hope it's got good sound insulation. Taken from the footway across the centre of junction 5 roundabout, of which the bridge in the foreground is part.

The former Admiral Lord Rodney public house
As can be seen from the gable end, this is a timber framed building and is thought to date from the 16th century although the arched window and doors in the frontage are from a much later date.

Glamorous Lord Rodney
This stretch of road was once part of Much Park Street, the main road out of Coventry towards London. The building of the ring road in the 1960s (just off to the left of this picture) cut it off from the rest of Much Park Street and the city centre, except for pedestrians, who could use an underpass. The orphaned road became part of Short Street, which ran at right angles to it, off to the right of this photo. Rob Orland's Historic Coventry site presents maps showing the area before and after the ring road https://www.historiccoventry.co.uk/covmaps/allmaps.php .
The pub in the centre of the picture is first mentioned in 1781, though the timber framing visible on the side wall suggests it is much older. For most of its life it was known as the Admiral Lord Rodney, after the naval commander George Brydges, who defeated the French at the Battle of the Saintes in the Caribbean in 1782. Since 1997 it has been a gay bar, known first as Rainbows and more recently as Glamorous. The Coventry's Pub History site (Rob Orland again, and friends) outlines its history and includes a photo from its Rodney days https://pubhistory.historiccoventry.co.uk/main/pub.php?pg=admiral_rodney
