Open land at the corner of Stretton Avenue and Dunsmore Avenue, Willenhall, Coventry
Dunsmore Avenue runs across the picture, climbing left to right. The dense growth of scrub is on a strip of land running back from St James' Lane. A map of 1938 shows a small building on it, identified in 1947 as greenhouses and the land as 'Market Garden'. From the 1950s to the 1970s it is shown as 'Nursery'; a building appears at the front of the site. On a map of 1982 the site is unidentified and by 1992 carries tree symbols. Bollards at the edge of the trees, right, suggest public access.

YMCA Willenhall, Stretton Avenue, southeast Coventry
The sign also says 'Part of YMCA Coventry and Warwickshire' https://ymca-cw.org.uk Another sign further along says 'Willenhall Older People's Office' with the logo of Coventry City Council (CCC) Social Services but no building to go with it. Maps of the 1950s show small dwellings here on previously open land – prefabs? In the 1980s and 1990s a building here is 'District Centre' and further along is another labelled 'Clinic'. However, behind the camera is a newer brick building identified as CCC Social Services, and in the village is the new facility seen in Image, so there's been a move around.

North on Chace Avenue near St Anne's School, Willenhall, Coventry
The houses on the right are part of the residential development on the site of the Chase National Service Hostel built in 1941, later the Chace Hostel. It provided temporary accommodation for homeless people and those seeking permanent homes in the city. In the late 1980s (I'm guessing) residents moved into the Chace Centre on the west side of Chace Avenue as the original site was cleared and developed for housing. The Chace Centre itself is now being demolished.
On the left a fine oak tree comes into leaf, at first a characteristic olive green colour.

Unidentified building next to Willenhall Police Station, Chace Avenue, Coventry
It looks new, secure and faceless. The downstairs windows are of mirror glass; upstairs windows have vertical blinds drawn: a remand centre, perhaps. On the left of the photo is a corner of Image, occupied by West Midlands Police.
