Europa Way, Warwick
High voltage power lines pass over Myton but go underground to cross Heathcote and Warwick Gates estates.
They were undergrounded only after a long struggle between the local authority, the power company and the developer.
They emerge in Whitnash and continue towards Harbury.

Holiday Inn, Olympus Avenue, Tachbrook Park, Warwick/Leamington
A less inviting hotel I never saw. Tachbrook Park has evolved into a mix of business, retail and leisure uses. It was a response to the approach of the M40 extension in the 1980s, filling in the urban fringe farmland between existing industrial estates south of Leamington. The laughable road names all refer to Greek mythology.

A452 Europa Way, Warwick
Portentous offices and 'tree' sculpture on the Tachbrook Park business park.
First occupied by the Heart of England Building Society who were taken over by the Cheltenham & Gloucester.
They now house a large firm of solicitors, Wright Hassall.
The area is technically in Warwick but feels more like south Leamington.

West end of Apollo Way, Tachbrook Park, Warwick/Leamington
Tachbrook Park has evolved into a mix of business, retail and leisure uses. It was a response to the approach of the M40 extension in the 1980s, filling in the urban fringe farmland between existing industrial estates south of Leamington. The laughable road names all refer to Greek mythology. Here the view is to Olympus Avenue and the rear of the offices of Wright Hassall, solicitors; it was originally developed for the Heart of England Building Society but they were taken over by the C&G, who were themselves acquired by Lloyds TSB, I think. This preposterous pile fronts Europa Way, Leamington's feeder to the M40: see

Wright Hassall office, Leamington Spa
Viewed across Olympus Avenue from the corner of Apollo Way. No doubt if this firm of solicitors were in the least bothered by jokes about their name, they would have called themselves Hassall Wright.

Offices, Olympus Avenue, Tachbrook Park, Warwick/Leamington
The offices of Millward Brown, market research company, perhaps win gold in the ugliness Olympics that is Tachbrook Park. It was a response to the approach of the M40 extension in the 1980s, filling in the urban fringe farmland between existing industrial estates south of Leamington. The laughable road names all refer to Greek mythology.
