Shame they're not Banksy's
Graffiti on the rear on the Virgin Active building.
What colourful expression! These doors will probably be painted over rather than sold on for a great price.

Whitley Bridge
Sometimes known as Whitley Abbey Bridge (though there was never a monastery here), this bridge once carried the Coventry to London road over the River Sherbourne. It has long since been bypassed and is now blocked to motor traffic. It is Grade II listed and is dated to the 16th century by the listing at the Historic England site https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1076652?section=official-list-entry .

Car park and turning circle for two schools, Whitley, southeast Coventry
Whitley Abbey Primary School is ahead. The school out-of-shot left is signed at the Ashington Grove entrance as Alice Stevens School, which was a special needs mixed secondary school. It is not listed as a Coventry school. It appears to have been absorbed into the Riverbank Academy on Princethorpe Way, Binley. The buildings here are unlabelled on current mapping and are assumed to be closed.
It's interesting how the schools are set among mature oak and beech trees – presumably in the parkland of the former Whitley Abbey.
