Westwood Heath Road
Westward Heath came within the Coventry boundary with the 1928 boundary extensions. However it remained largely rural until the last quarter of the 20th century, when housing and a business park were constructed.

Westwood Heath Road
Westwood Heath Road runs along the boundary between Coventry And Warwickshire. At this point, there is housing to the left with open vistas over Warwickshire farmland. Once a quiet backwater, the road has become a bit of a race track in recent years hence the solar-power assisted 30mph warning signs, one of which is visible to the left of the oak which stands at the lane entrance to Lodge Farm.

Entering Coventry
The large sign marks the boundary of the City of Coventry on Cromwell Lane. The strapline 'City of Peace and Reconciliation' refers back to the night in November 1940 when the cathedral and much of the city centre were destroyed by enemy action. Following that the Cathedral's provost urged people not to seek revenge, but to forgive. After the Second World War reconciliation links were set up with Dresden, Germany which had also suffered a devastating firebomb raid, and later Coventry was twinned with Hiroshima, Stalingrad, Lidice and Caen. In 2000 a Centre for the Study of Forgiveness and Reconciliation was established at Coventry University. At the bottom of the sign is a reminder that Coventry has been designated UK City of Culture for 2021.
