Woodway Walk, Henley Green
Houses on Woodway Walk can be seen from the green space of the Potters Green corridor. The Woodway Lane estate of council housing at Henley Green was built in 1962-4 by the Midlands Housing Consortium to designs by Fred Lloyd Roche, who had worked under Arthur Ling, the city architect of Coventry. For more information, see the Historic England e-publication Coventry: The making of a modern city 1939-73 by Jeremy Gould & Caroline Gould, pp93-96 https://historicengland.org.uk/images-books/publications/coventry-making-of-modern-city-1939-73/coventry-making-of-modern-city-1939-73/ .
The estate, like many in Coventry, was built on the Radburn system, named after the New Jersey town where it was pioneered in 1929. In this design, houses front onto traffic-free paths connected by greens, while garages are provided in cul-de-sac roads nearby. The Goulds comment that, "The houses drew consistent praise from the architectural press for their design and economy. The tenants criticised the poor soundproofing, lack of storage, tiny gardens and
inadequate heating but their children were happy playing on the roads leaving the traffic-free greens almost unused."
