IMAGES TAKEN NEAR TO
Kilburn Drive, COVENTRY, CV5 8NN

House on Allesley Old Road, marked on the 1888 1:500 map as Hearsall House and on the 1905 edition as Florence House. It was originally a master watchmaker's house with a long workshop extension to the rear. Locally listed. The blue plaque by the door (see Image) reads: "1 Hearsall Terrace 21 Allesley Old Road Thomas & Rowland Hill Watch Manufacturers". The building is now occupied by a celebration balloon maker.

Early 20th Century terrace, absent from the 1914 1:2,500 map but shown on the 1937 edition.

The access path to Rushmoor Drive is located where one of the works entrances to the Coventry (Renold) Chain factory stood. Beyond the wall to the right is a small garden on the site of Stanley Terrace, a short terrace of Victorian houses which stood at the junction of Allesley Old Road and Hearsall Lane.

Buildings on Allesley Old Road, either side of Craven Street. This side of the junction is The Four Provinces, marked on the 1888 and 1905 1:500 maps as Craven Lodge. It was bought by a group of Irish businessmen in the 1960s and opened in 1965 as a private members' club before becoming a pub in the early 2000s. See Image for a closer view. On the other side is 21 Allesley Street, marked on the 1888 1:500 map as Hearsall House and on the 1905 edition as Florance House. It was originally a master watchmaker's house with a long workshop extension to the rear. The building is now occupied by a celebration balloon maker. See Image for a closer view.

At the rear of a house facing on to Allesley Old Road and viewed from Craven Street, in the historic watchmaking district of Chapelfields.

With more claim to be genuinely Irish than the Irish-themed chain pubs that have appeared over the years, this establishment was opened as a private members' club by a group of Irish businessmen in the 1960s and has operated as a pub since the early 2000s. The front of the pub proudly proclaims it to be the 'four rovinces', the missing p can be seen on the roof above the door; compare with Image taken six weeks earlier when the p was still in place.
