IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Almond Tree Avenue, COVENTRY, CV2 1WE

To the right of the path, not visible in the photo, runs a small stream, a tributary of the River Sowe that flows out of Wyken Pool and joins the Sowe among the trees in the distance. To the left of the drainage ditch are houses of a recent 'regeneration' development in Wood End with the odd name of 'Spirit Quarters', which suggests haunted houses.

Almond Tree Avenue joins, left, and continues north. The building on the right is Hall Green Methodist Church. The sign at the left edge directs to 'Spirit Quarters – new 2, 3 and 4-bedroomed homes' by a developer called Keepmoat.

Mill House is a historic building surrounded by a modern housing estate with bird-themed street names. The house is a Grade II listed building, one of only two in Alderman's Green (the other is the war memorial by the Methodist Church). The Historic England site describes it as 18th century, altered in the 19th https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1076654?section=official-list-entry . The ornamental bargeboards on the gables give it a Victorian appearance. Round the back is a miniature cottage with its own small bargeboards on the dormer window. In the distance can be seen the junction of Alderman's Green Road and Eburne Road.

A mill race is a channel constructed to conduct water away from a stream or river to power the wheel of a watermill and then onwards to rejoin the main stream again. This path runs alongside the course of the mill race downstream from Foleshill Mill, along which the water flowed from the mill back into the River Sowe. Mill and mill race can be seen on the OS six inch map (1888-1913 series). There is no sign of them now. Just beyond the cast iron posts the path bridges the modern course of the Sowe, immediately downstream from where it was joined by the mill race. It then follows the course of the mill race to Mill House, an 18th century house Image
