Alleyway off Farman Road, Earlsdon
One of Earlsdon's many distinctive back alleys, this one runs between Farman Road and Kingston Road, where there is a slight break in the line by the school. It then continues to Broomfield Road. Perhaps a field path ran here before the building of the houses in the late 19th century.

The gap, Hearsall Lane
For many years this was vacant land hidden by advertising hoardings. Then it was a partially dug bit of land next to hoardings. Now the hoardings are gone, it's a bigger hole and new housing is under construction. The backs of houses in Latham Road are visible in the background. As you can see, it has rained recently and clay doesn't drain well.

Hanging on
A lot of the local corner shops have closed down and become private dwellings.
This one has bucked the trend and carries on as an Off Licence.

Hearsall Lane
Sandwiched between early 20th century housing on the left and Wells Terrace (constructed 2011/12) on the right is a building which was formerly an industrial photographer's premises but was standing empty when the photo was taken.
This is the approximate location of a pound shown on a 1912 Ordnance Survey 1:2,500 map of the area. Stray animals would be held in the pound until claimed by the owners.

Hearsall Lane
Most of the housing on Hearsall Lane was constructed in the early years of the 20th century. In contrast, the buildings in the foreground were constructed almost 100 years later. The nearer building, Wells Terrace, was built in a long-standing gap in 2011/12 and the neighbouring grey and white building constructed on the site of a former industrial photographer's building seen here in 2016: Image
