Dane Road meets Walsgrave Road, Stoke, Coventry
The houses of Dane Road are typical 1930s Motor City suburbia, but the building to the right, fronting onto Walsgrave Road, and with OFFICES carved over the door, is clearly older, late 19th or early 20th century, and is marked on the OS Six Inch Series map of that era. There are modern industrial premises behind it, which now have planning permission for redevelopment as retirement housing. The offices were, until the 1980s, those of Youell the builders, who constructed many of the suburban houses in this part of the city. Nearby stood a weighing house, long since demolished.

The Walsgrave Public House, corner of Walsgrave Road & Ansty Road, Wyken, Coventry
The Walsgrave is a roadside pub of the 1930s, in a very grand Queen Anne style, with a distinctive hipped roof with very tall chimneys. It is situated where the main road turns an abrupt corner, changing from Walsgrave Road, on which the pub officially stands, to Ansty Road.

Run to the city of refuge
City of Refuge is a storefront church occupying part of a shopping centre in Stoke, Coventry; Lords Sofas is another occupant. They are viewed here from the palm-fringed oasis of a roundabout in the busy Walsgrave Road, which makes an abrupt ninety degree turn here.
For the spiritual or gospel song Run to the City of Refuge, see the Smithsonian Institute on Blind Willie Johnson https://folkways.si.edu/blind-willie-johnson/1927-1930/blues/music/album/smithsonian . The biblical cities of refuge occur in Numbers 35:6-34.
