Kingsbury Road allotments, Allesley Park, Coventry.
Looking towards the backs of the houses in Donnington Avenue.
The block of blue plants in the foreground is Phacelia Tanacetefolia, a type of green manure plant that is normally cut down before flowering and dug into the ground to improve the soil, but in this case they have been left to flower as the bees and butterflies love them as they are a great source of nectar.

Holyhead Road and lay-by
At this point the river Sherbourne runs very close to the road and a plaque on the fencing informs us that "this lay-by was originally constructed to enable water to be taken from the river Sherbourne by steam lorries operating from the flour mill in Cox Street. It was in use until circa 1949". This may be the flour mill referred to: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/2266454 .
The Holyhead Road (A4114) was part of the London to Holyhead turnpike system and this straight bit between the city centre and Allesley bypassed the old Allesley road - now called the Allesley Old Road. Still a main artery out of the city, it is provided with on-road cycle lanes.
