Up until the late 70's there was a water catchment tank on top of the extension next to the conservatory. These were later removed and replaced with a roof.

Holyhead Road and lay-by
At this point the river Sherbourne runs very close to the road and a plaque on the fencing informs us that "this lay-by was originally constructed to enable water to be taken from the river Sherbourne by steam lorries operating from the flour mill in Cox Street. It was in use until circa 1949". This may be the flour mill referred to: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2266454 .
The Holyhead Road (A4114) was part of the London to Holyhead turnpike system and this straight bit between the city centre and Allesley bypassed the old Allesley road - now called the Allesley Old Road. Still a main artery out of the city, it is provided with on-road cycle lanes.

Whilst having a coat of whitewash on its pebble-dash, this is one of the few houses in the avenue to retain most of its 1930's features. Leaded front door and windows. Even one of the original privet hedges still remain.
