Momus Boulevard, Stoke, Coventry
The bizarrely-named Momus Boulevard runs alongside a stretch of Binley Road as it heads eastwards out of Coventry through the extensive suburb of Stoke. Here we find ourselves a short way along, at the junction with Anthony Way. At the corner stands a unexpectedly handsome building with a chamfered corner which is topped by a Dutch gable above an arched window, with the front porch below. It is now the office of a construction firm. Beyond it extends a long terrace of tudorbethan suburbia, very Motor City between-the-wars. Momus was the Greek god of satire and mockery and 'the troll of ancient Greece', in the words of Sonia Pertsinidis. According to Aesop he was thrown out of Olympus by Zeus for his carping criticism of the gods' creations, complaining that a house built by Athena should have been made with wheels so that the occupant could escape bad neighbours. https://aesopsfox.blog/2017/06/05/the-troll-of-ancient-greece-momus/ Perhaps this is the Coventry connection: Momus thought she should have made a car, or perhaps a motor home.

Coventry-The Biggin Hall
Public House on Binley Road.The pub has not changed much in 6 years apart from the shelter for smokers being added Image but appears to be "To Let" at the moment. Business must be good as the Elvis and Neil Diamond show is sold out!.

Marconi - New Century Park
Manufacturer of telecom equipment, formerly the GEC Telephone Works. Sadly a shadow of its former self after years of cutbacks, the result of technology change, the 1990s telecom boom and bust and more recently, foreign competition.
Update September 2010: All but one of the buildings on this site were demolished in 2010 to make way for a residential development.
