Short terraces of 1950s/60s houses in Torbay Road on Allesley Park estate. Ice still on the pavement where the sun hasn't reached all day.
The buildings on the horizon are offices in the city centre.

Winsford Avenue 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. This photograph, taken in the afternoon, shows the junction with Whitaker Road foreground left and the bus shelter foreground right. Pedestrians are walking up the centre of Winsford Avenue.

Torbay Road, Allesley Park
Torbay Road drops suddenly away. Warning signs for 10% hill and bends. Ice on the pavements on a road that catches little sun in winter. Have fun.
The trees on the horizon are on Hearsall Common in SP3078.

Winsford Avenue
The junction of Whitaker Road (left) with Winsford Avenue after an overnight snowfall of 8-10cm. Main roads have been gritted and the bus has successfully negotiated both up and back down Winsford Avenue.
The block on the far side of Whitaker Road is phase 1 of the Allesley Park neighbourhood centre which opened in 2011. The new centre currently houses a library, replacing a mobile service, and a medical centre, moved from the block which stood at the corner and was recently demolished, hence the rubble at the corner.
A similar view in worse snow in 1990 shows the former medical centre: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/1073466 . Street lighting and bus stops have also altered in the intervening years.

Looking downhill towards the Westmede Centre shops. Patches of snow from 7 days previously continue to make the pavement tricky in places.

Shops, Winsford Avenue
A thriving set of shops on the corner of Winsford Avenue and Whitaker Road. However, on a Sunday it is shutter-land.
