Whitefriars Housing office for Willenhall tenants, St James' Lane, southeast Coventry
There is a small depot behind for the Homeworks housing repairs team. The scrubby woodland at the back has developed in recent years.

Modern pub at the corner of St James Lane & Wroxall Avenue. Internally, bar to left, drinking area to right, games room (pool) to rear; TV, music (very loud), games machines. No cask ale available at my visit, despite the sign outside; appears to be a male preserve.

The Church of St John the Divine, Willenhall
The Church of St John the Divine is one of three commissioned in 1954 from Basil Spence for the Coventry suburbs. They were funded by money the diocese received from the War Damages Commission for the destruction of one inner city church. Spence went on to design the new Coventry Cathedral which used some of the ideas developed here. This view shows the western gable end which incorporates a cross formed from steel beams. The building is grade II listed.
