Pollarded limes, Mayfield Road
Common Lime (Tilia x europaea, a natural hybrid) grows to an impressive size, for example in parkland, but planted in small-scale spaces such as residential streets – probably with the best of intentions – it spells trouble. Coventry City has grasped the nettle and operates a programme of pollarding in order to reduce justified complaints about loss of light, falling twigs and leaves, goo on cars and potential scary height.

Criterion Theatre
Theatre in Berkeley Road South housed in a former Methodist chapel in Earsldon, built in 1884 (when the road was called Cromwell Street, the current name first being shown on the 1926 6 inch map). Following the opening of Earsldon Methodist Church in 1923 (see
Image) it continued in use as a Sunday School, along with other community uses, until vacated in 1960 when it was taken over by the Criterion Theatre.

Criterion Theatre, Earlsdon, Coventry
The Criterion Theatre off Berkeley Road South has been a pillar of Earlsdon cultural life since 1960. https://www.criteriontheatre.co.uk/about/theatre It occupies what looks at first sight like a converted pair of suburban semi-detached houses. In fact, as the Earlsdon 2000 Heritage Trail plaque on the front explains, the building was a Methodist chapel and Sunday school, built in 1884. In 1923 worship moved to the new Methodist chapel at the top of Albany Road, by the clock roundabout, but the building continued to be used as a Sunday school until 1960.
