Behind the facade
This is the back entrance (from Broad Lane) to the former Massey Ferguson Works, Coventry. Although the facade of the offices (and the tower block) facing Banner Lane have been left standing, this is all that remains of the works.
The house builders' sales office is already in place at the far end of the site.

Hawkhurst Moor
According to the 1940's O.S. map Hawkhurst Moor Farm buildings would have been to the right of the picture.
It was on these fields that, in the late 80's, it was planned to build the largest coal mine in Europe. The Public Inquiry did not approve it.
The "remains" of the Massey Ferguson Works and the remaining tower block can be seen in the distance.

A little surface water
Heavy overnight and morning rain has caused excessive surface runoff from Hockley Lane on the right to add to the problems with an overflowing stream alongside Broad Lane. The stream is visible in front of the houses and passes under the road to continue behind the raised kerb on the left. By this time the rain had eased for a couple of hours.
Near the direction sign is a boundary post, marking the 1928 city boundary extension.

Broad Lane near Hockley Lane
After heavy overnight and morning rain has ameliorated, surface water flows down Broad Lane towards the junction with Banner Lane, covering most of the left hand side of the road. A stream runs behind the raised kerb on the right.
