Shaftesbury Road
Road laid out in 1891. The semi-detached pair of houses in the right background of this photo is one of a group shown on the 1906 25 inch map (but marked as revised in 1894), suggesting these were the initial development. The nearer houses are not shown until the 1940 edition, suggesting a building date of the 1920s or 1930s.

Footbridge Beechwood Ave, Coventry
The Beechwood Avenue footbridge over the Coventry to Birmingham railway line, provided to avoid risking life and limb on the blind corner, single width, no pavement road bridge out of shot on the left. As an added bonus there's the first pylon to pop up from Hearsall Common in the background.

Beechwood Avenue bridge
Beechwood Avenue is closed again for work to replace the road surface over the bridge. The temporary concrete barriers have been removed from the left of the road and a mechanical digger is at work behind the lorry.

Beechwood Avenue bridge
Beechwood Avenue bridge, closed for the weekend whilst investigatory drilling work is carried out. I suspect they may find a railway nearby.
The approaches to the bridge are at an angle and embanked and the road, comparatively recently resurfaced, suffers from surface cracking. The bridge parapet behind where the drill is located was rebuilt two years ago and concrete barriers added at the western side of the road on both sides of the bridge. The bridge itself is a traffic-light controlled single carriageway and limited to 7.5 tons, although a bus route does cross it.
