The Grange, now a Co-op store, Stoke, Coventry
The Grange public house on Alfall Road opened in 1937, according to the Coventry's Pub History site https://pubhistory.historiccoventry.co.uk/main/pub.php?pg=grange . It took its name from Wyken Grange Farm, on which the houses in this area were built. The pub closed in 2013 and reopened as a convenience store of the Heart of England Co-operative Society in 2016. Note the outdoor automatic mini-laundrette facing onto the car park just beyond the store entrance.

North Street, Stoke, Coventry
North Street forms part of Upper Stoke, a block of streets to the east of Barras Heath that seems to have been built up piecemeal in the 19th century with a great variety of house types. The row of six three-storey houses to the right are unmistakeably ribbon-weavers' houses with their high top-shops on the topmost floor for the tall jacquard looms. The outlines of the large windows, now partly filled in with bricks of a different colour and texture, can clearly be seen, except on the pair of houses that have been rendered.
The pair of houses on the left has the red and yellow chequerboard brickwork that is very common in parts of Warwickshire.

Luxury Bakery, Alfall Road
The uncial, 'Celtic' lettering of the sign suggests an Irish bakery, but it is stronger on samosas than soda bread, which reflects changes in the local population of Stoke, Coventry, over the years.
