Terraced houses, Beauchamp Avenue, Royal Leamington Spa
The house in the centre appears to be of the same form as those on the left, but they have had a different surface treatment. Conservation Area guidelines recommend that houses be painted Magnolia or White, not always appropriately. It creates an appealing conformity but I don't know how authentic it is. Photos of post-war Leamington show terraces of grey cement render stained with soot from coal fires.

Lillington Road - Clarendon Street
These two roads meet end on at this point. As a result the house numbers descend (from left to right) 8, 6, 4, 2 on the brick faced buildings and then start again 1, 3 etc. on the painted houses. Good training for a novice postman!

Winter Snow 1990
Looking west from Lillington Road towards Binswood Avenue and into the adjacent square after a heavy snowstorm in December 1990. Some traffic had started to move again but the snowploughs had not yet reached this area.

Space Invader mosaic, Arlington Avenue, Leamington Spa
This small mosaic, of 70 tiles, depicts an alien of the pixelated Space Invader type, familiar from the Japanese video game of that name from 1978. It is set into the white painted stucco of a wall outside a large Regency town house. One tile, near the top right, is translucent, suggesting a moon in the night sky. On Space Invaders, see Matt Alt, Pure Invention: How Japan's Pop Culture conquered the World, Constable, 2020.
