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.

Former corner shop, Bristol Road
A walk around the area will reveal the extent of the demise of the corner shops to the bigger retailers.
Perhaps someone has archived what and who they all were.

Melbourne Road
A detached house at the end of the terraced Melbourne Road. The lack of chimneys suggest it was built in the latter part of the 20th century in contrast to the other houses dating from c. 1906.

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.
