Pollarded trees, Glendower Avenue
Frost on the new tips of the annually pollarded trees. The houses show two periods of building in Glendower Avenue. Those to the left are 1920s/30s built, whilst those to the right are of a later date, post WW2.

Whoberley Avenue
A Sunday afternoon and, unusually, a double decker bus is making its way into town in contrast to weekday commuting times when it's a closely packed single-decker.

Gorseway at Heathfield Road
Looking east along Gorseway from the junction with Heathfield Road. It had been snowing steadily all morning and reached about 10cm by this time.
The housing here is short bay-windowed terraces dating from the 1930s, typical of many of Coventry's suburbs. The trees beyond the houses are on Hearsall Common.

Guphill Avenue
Looking towards Hearsall Common woodland. The Scots pine on the corner is one of several dotted along Guphill Avenue. On old OS maps Guphill Avenue is shown as Whoberley Lane and was the main approach to Whoberley Hall. The road has been closed to motor traffic other than for access to prevent it being used as a rat-run to avoid the Glendower Avenue / Broad Lane traffic light hold up.

Urban bridleway
This public bridleway runs parallel to Glendower Avenue between the corner of Guphill Avenue and Allesley Old Road. It is shown on the 1889 OS map as Guphill Lane and ran from Whoberley Lane (now Guphill Avenue) to join what was then called the Old Allesley Road at Guphill Ford Bridge. It was on the western boundary of the city between the boundary changes of 1842 and 1928.
