Allesley Old Road
At one time there used to be a drive leading off to the left at the cedar trees which led to a property shown on 1936-7 OS maps as High Field. In the 1960s Image] was built on the site, with access from Dulverton Avenue. Surrounding housing is of ca. 1930s vintage and is set several feet above the road. For many years this road was part of a coach route from London to Holyhead and at this point it climbs a low rise between the River Sherbourne and a tributary stream so it is possible that, in the days before adequate road surfaces, the roadway wore down into a holloway.

Allesley Old Road (B4106) in snow, 1990
On the morning of Saturday 8th December 1990, a heavy localised snowfall accompanied by strong winds caused chaos on the roads in the area. Here, in the afternoon, cars are jammed in the left carriageway, near the junction with Winsford Avenue. Other vehicles are attempting to keep moving by taking the right hand carriageway to get to the junction.
