Row of shops facing onto a green on Everdon Road, Coventry
Everdon Road is a street of council housing built by Coventry City Council, probably in the late 1950s or early 1960s. It is oval in shape, with a short connecting road joining it to Holbrook Lane to the east, and has smaller closes branching off, forming a housing estate, for which this row of shops was intended as a shopping centre. It faces onto a green with a single lombardy poplar, at the western end of Everdon Road where it connects to Charlewood Road.

You say Holbrooks I say Holbrook
Holbrooks Park according to the council sign, Holbrook Park according to the Coventry city council website (though the web address contains Holbrooks). https://www.coventry.gov.uk/holbrookspark The district is named Holbrooks, the main street Holbrook Lane. The park is much longer than it is wide, with a front section by the road with more trees, a play area, a skateboard park and a drive and car park. The rear section, to which this is the entrance, has football pitches and a path that leads to Beake Avenue. On a wet and windy Friday morning in May the park was empty apart from a couple of people walking dogs.

Supported housing block, Everdon Road, Coventry
One of two blocks at the junction of Everdon Road and Holbrook Lane. This one stood on the north side of Everdon Road, while another, of very similar design, stood to the south. Each fronted onto a communal yard shared with bungalows. This photo was taken at the entry to the yard from Everdon Road, and the entrance to the block can be seen just to the right of the left-hand tree trunk. The block comprised 15 bedsits, each with a small kitchen and a toilet, with shared shower rooms, lounge and utility room and a site office. They were built as social housing for elderly people. More recently, both blocks were let to property guardians, before being demolished in 2020. Bungalows are now being built on the site.
