The other end of The Waterfront, Warwick

To amplify, the incomplete concrete structures are the 'undercrofts' or ground floors of FOGs - flats over garages - yet to be built.
The building contractor uses them as covered storage for materials. Construction may proceed later in 2009.

Steps off Greville Road, Warwick
They lead down to a track, the continuation of Portobello Way, that gives access to the Percy Estate allotments, the rear of Greville Road properties, and an electricity pylon. In the background is one of the blocks of flats on the Waterfront development on the site of the Potterton's boiler factory. Greville was a family name of the Earls of Warwick.

Off-road parking ends here, Greville Road
A grass verge was sacrificed to avoid hold-ups by parked cars on busy Greville Road. The turning on the left is Beauchamp Road. Both Greville and Beauchamp (pron. beecham) were both family names of the Earls of Warwick.

Construction of flats has restarted on the Waterfront site, Portobello, Warwick
The flats are square in plan, 3-5 storey blocks, similar to those built a few years ago, before the financial crisis 2008-9. Houses in the distance are in Leamington, across the River Avon. The view is from the unmade track to the allotments, an electricity pylon and private properties.
