Brownshill Green Rd
A wet grey day in western Coventry. Not the best time to see these rather grey examples of terraced social housing. The uniform grey pebble-dashing seems to monotonise the appearance

Houses on Norman Place Road, Coundon
For me, these houses are quintessentially suburban Coventry: semi detached or (as in this case) in short terraces, with gables and very substantial, stone framed, almost semi circular bay windows.

The Nugget, Coundon Green
Another between-the-wars Coventry landmark roadside pub, like many others now in the pale blue and white livery of the Sizzling Pubs chain that belongs to Mitchells & Butlers brewery. The coat of paint is a recent change, covering the building's pale brown brick. 'The Nugget' sounds like a gimmick pub-restaurant name suggesting chicken nuggets, but in fact there has been a pub of this name on or near this site since the late 19th century, with a change to 'Sky Blue Tavern' for a while in the 60s and 70s. The modern building dates from 1938 and seems very large for its site on the fringe of Coundon, away from main roads. It may have been built in the hope of more suburban development around Coundon Green, but the second world war and then the establishment of the green belt put paid to that. https://www.historiccoventry.co.uk/cph/main/pub.php?pg=nugget

Bus turning circle, Norman Place Road, Coundon (1)
Built into the junction of Norman Place Road and Duncroft Avenue (behind the photographer), this is the one time terminus of route 5 from Coventry city centre, which was extended to Radford many years ago (and has been extended further since); in recent years, this turning circle has merely been a glorified lay by for buses to town. The "buses only" signs are in an odd place as this end of the turning circle is also used by traffic entering and leaving a sports ground out of frame to the left.
