A Mostly Derelict Substation
A large site still shown as Coventry Central Substation is now largely abandoned.
The shed and the things in the foreground look like they might still be in use but a sign a bit further along identifies the rest as a Groundwork Environmental Regeneration Project.

Paving slabs, Coventry Canal, Foleshill
Just south of the Cash's Lane canal bridge (Bridge no. 2), the canal towpath is paved with a row of over a hundred interlocking concrete paving slabs, each bearing the inscription 'DANGER C.E.G.B. CABLES 132,000 VOLTS'. The CEGB was the Central Electricity Generating Board, which had responsibility for generating and transmitting electricity in England & Wales from 1958 until the industry was privatised in the early 1990s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_Electricity_Generating_Board
Many of the slabs are loose and rock slightly underfoot, the cavity underneath for the cables acting as a resonator to amplify the sound, which is suggestive of a large out-of-tune marimba.
