Brookside Avenue.
Looking not unlike Center Parc villas these houses were built in the mid '60s
to replace 2nd world war prefabs used to rehouse victims of the Coventry blitz.

Brookside and Glendower
These Scots pines stand at the junction of Glendower Avenue and Brookside Avenue and are probably survivors from the old Whoberley Hall estate.

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.
