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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
