61-71 Lincroft Crescent, Whoberley
There are hundreds of houses in Coventry in a similar style to this, most built in the 1920's and 1930's. However some were built in the late 1940's and early 1950's, and I think this may be one of those roads, though I have not checked.

Row of Shops, Grayswood Avenue
At one time all five of these shops would have been supplying goods: groceries green grocer, butcher, hardware and similar supply shops but now none of them do. Service companies have replaced small shop keepers. Two are closed, one is a hair dresser, one is a photographer, one is a maintenance company.
In July 2012 a former local resident wrote:
"Thanks for the somewhat nostalgic but sad photo. I lived and grew up just round the corner in Dulverton Avenue. Your assumptions about the shops past identities are correct. I did part of my Geography O level course work on these shops in the early 1970's they were in decline then. I'm sure it's up in the loft somewhere. One of these was an ironmongers which sold paraffin oils and the like. It had its own special smell. Around November time it had one of the best selection of fireworks around. Almost every empty space would have a bonfire on it.
Thanks for reviving a memory from the past."

Remember the Post Office?
1930's corner shops. The white fronted building was the local Post Office.
The pillar box is now the only reminder.
