Three four-storey blocks of flats, Tile Hill North, western Coventry
The view is across Jardine Crescent. The flats appear to lack any vehicular access. Satellite photos show an on-road parking lane that clearly is not there now. Out of shot left is a construction site where the Tile Hill Social Club was: see

Before World War II this area was fields, perhaps belonging to Tilehill Farm on Hawthorn Lane, bounded to the east by a wood called North Waste. In the early 1950s maps show a network of roads lined with small square dwellings on small plots – presumed to be prefabs. The crescent was then Humphrey Wanley Crescent. The flats pictured first appear on a map of 1960; there was a court of lock-up garages off James Green Road but this is now houses. The crescent has become Jardine Crescent.
