Grey Poplar leaves and bark, Sowe Valley, upstream from Clifford Bridge, Coventry
Populus x canescens is the scientific name of Grey Poplar, a colossal tree. Although late June, the grey-white felted undersides of the leaves can be seen; also the distinctive diamond-shaped pits in the pale bark of the upper bole. The hybrid nature of the tree (White Poplar, Populus alba x Aspen, Populus tremula) is reflected in the shape of the wavy-edged round leaves.

Godiva's iron steed
Godiva's iron horse has been put out to grass, or asphalt, on an industrial estate on Henley Road. The horse, and the fifty seat cycle that powered it, were built by Imagineer to transport a giant puppet of Lady Godiva from Coventry to London for the Cultural Olympiad that accompanied the London Olympic Games of 2012. For more information see the Imagineer site https://imagineer-productions.co.uk/projects/godiva-awakes/ . Horse and puppet can be seen in Broadgate in central Coventry here
