Embankment between Bridgeman Road and Radford Road
Between July 2005 and December 2005 the embankment between these two roads was stabilised and the retaining wall built. The trees and shrubs were planted as part of the works. Radford road was closed to vehicles for this period. The works cost £2.2m and were funded from central government. A streetlamp on Radford Road (which is higher than Bridgeman Road) can be seen against the sky. Bridgeman Road is the area of tarmac in the photo.

Radford brook culvert in Naul's Mill Park
The concrete shows the path of the culvert and the approximate path of the former brook. In the mid distance is a padlocked service hatch. The brook can be seen and heard through the grill. This is one of only two places where the brook can now be seen. In the heyday of the mill this area would probably have been under water.

What became of Rosehill? The Science of the Soul
The Science of the Soul meditation and study centre is under construction on a site between St Nicholas Street and Radford Road (from which this photo was taken), in Radford, just outside Coventry city centre. It is being developed by the movement Radha Soami Satsang Beas (RSSB), which is based in Punjab, India and is led by the guru Gurinder Singh. RSSB has developed out of the Sikh tradition.
The site was formerly occupied by the Coventry Coachmakers' Club, a working men's club. The coachmakers were a craft association within the motor industry. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news-coachmakers-social-club-15573750
This appears also to have been the site of Rosehill https://www.coventrysociety.org.uk/news/article/bird-grove-and-george-eliot-in-coventry.html , the home of Charles and Cara Bray from 1840 to 1857. Charles was a successful ribbon-manufacturer and a social reformer, while Cara was an artist and writer, also active in work for human and animal welfare. Their salon at Rosehill attracted liberal and freethinking intellectuals, most notably Mary Ann Evans, the young George Eliot, who lived nearby at Bird Grove in Foleshill. https://heritage.humanists.uk/the-rosehill-circle/ One wonders what they would have made of 'The Science of the Soul'.
