Flats in Wyken across the Sowe valley, Coventry
The blocks of flats half hidden by the trees are William Malcolm House, right, and Vincent Wyles House, left, on Attoxhall Road, Wyken. Things to note: part of an extensive stand of reedmace ('bulrush'), left, a raised manhole that says 'sewer', two-storey houses nestling at the foot of the tower blocks, a rugby ground on the floodplain across the river.

Wet ground with reedmace on the playing fields, Binley, Coventry
Reedmace, wrongly called bulrush, is a species of Typha. Duckboards take the Sowe Valley footpath over the wet and sometimes muddy ground. The river is immediately to the right.

Stoke House, Wyken
Stoke House was built over 200 years ago and occupies a secluded site, surrounded by mature trees. It was the birthplace of Colonel William Fitzthomas Wyley, a chemist, who became the Lord Mayor of Coventry in 1911; he bought the Charterhouse, made it his home and bequeathed it to the city. After use by a barrage balloon unit during the Second World War, Stoke House became a children's home, and later offices for social/children's services. A modern secure unit for young people was built in the grounds and was demolished in 2013. Property guardians were living in the house at that time, and there was a planning application to convert it into a care home. Behind the house was a cobbled courtyard with a stable block. https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/news/article/planning-permission-sought-for-conversion-of-stoke-house.html

Footbridge over the River Sowe near St Gregory's primary school, Binley, Coventry
The pair of barriers may be configured to allow people to pass on foot or with a pushchair or in a wheelchair, say, but not bikes, motor bikes and horses. The Sowe Valley footpath crosses the river here from east on the right, to west over the bridge. In the background is Vincent Wyles House in Attoxhall Road, Wyken (or is it Stoke?).

The Sowe Valley footpath passes through a green-painted gate, Binley, Coventry
Strange to have an anti-intruder fence between two public open spaces – unless it's to stop bikes, motor bikes, monkey bikes and horses.
