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.

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.

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.

Massey gate posts
The gate posts are the last vestiges of the former Massey Ferguson tractor factory which ceased operation in 2003 and was mostly demolished by 2005. The factory, built 1939/40, started out as a Standard No. 2 shadow factory producing aircraft engines during WWII then was turned over to post-war tractor production, the last tractor rolling off the line on 24 Dec 2002. The 1960s office tower block was demolished on 8 July 2012.
The area is currently being redeveloped for housing, some of which is visible here. The gateway appears to be used as the entrance to Broad Lane Trading Estate, the sign for which is on the right.
