Looking across Lower Ford Street to Conisbrough Keep, Coventry
Conisbrough Keep appears to be a gated private road serving several blocks of student accommodation; another block is on the right. The viewpoint is a welcome scrap of open space at the acute corner of Lower Ford Street and Alma Street.

Alma Building, Alma Street, Hillfields
Now part of Coventry University, this building once belonged to Singer & Company Limited, makers first of bicycles, then motor cycles and motor cars. Singer had a number of sites in the area; this one is marked on an aerial photo as 'Final Testing and Show Rooms'. Workers at Singer founded the Singer Football Club in 1883, which later became Coventry City FC. See the Coventry Society page on Hillfields https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/coventry-neighbourhoods/hillfields/ , also the Coventry University site https://www.coventry.ac.uk/the-university/about-coventry-university/our-buildings/buildings/ .

Coventry University, Sports Therapy Clinic entrance, Alma Street, Coventry
Various signs say: Alma Building / Faculty of Health and Life Sciences / Sports Therapy Clinic / Strength and Conditioning Suite / Coventry University. The buildings all down the street look like a factory but are occupied by the university. The street must take its name from the battle of Alma, 1854, an episode in the Crimean War, and was presumably laid out soon afterwards.

Corner of Godiva Place and Lower Ford Street, Coventry
Godiva Place on the right leads to the entrance to the Norman Hay site. http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/4437826
Godiva was an 11th century Anglo-Saxon noblewoman, the wife of Leofric, Earl of Mercia. According to legend she rode naked (covered only by her long hair) through the streets of Coventry to meet her husband's stipulation for the abolition of the oppressive taxation he had imposed on his tenants. Tellingly perhaps, the first recorded mention of this alleged ride was not until two centuries after her death.
