Gorseway at Wildcroft Road
The snow had been falling steadily and reached approx 4"(10cm) by this time. The car on the left is gingerly negotiating Wildcroft Road which, as a bus route, would be gritted at some point.
The houses are 1930s bay-windowed semis and short terraces, typical of several of Coventry's suburbs.

Gorseway, Whoberley
Gorseway is oriented East-West and in winter is shaded much of the day, so ice and snow are slow to clear. A large monkey puzzle tree dominates the corner with Wildcroft Road. The frost covered trees in the distance are on Hearsall Common (SP3078).
1920s/30s bay-fronted brick houses in short terrace groups.

Heathfield Road in the snow
Snowfalls on the 18th and 20th gave a 15cm covering for several days. Heathfield Road, being a side road, has not been gritted so snow has been compacted to ice by the passage of traffic.
The road consists of short terraces of 1930s bay-windowed houses with a few semis all in a style common to several of Coventry's suburbs.

Wildcroft Road
Looking up Wildcroft Road at the junction with Lyndale Road. The houses on the corner were built on the site of the former Whoberley public house and its car park in the 1980s/90s. The eucalyptus tree on the corner is marginally younger than the houses. Further up Wildcroft Road are 1920s/30s bay fronted terraces.

DIY store
Sheppards now occupy the whole of the building at the corner of Wildcroft Road and Broad Lane. In the past the units to the left were occupied by a hairdresser, florist and butcher's shop.

Broadmead Court, Broad Lane
The outline of the 1950s/60s block is softened by the mature trees to the fore and the varied frontage. It is set back from the road and well spaced from the surrounding houses, the net effect being that it does not dominate.
