St Luke's Road, Holbrooks
The terraced houses on the left are caught by a burst of sunshine; one of them has recently been sold through Yopa. The 'no through road' sign is here because vehicular access to Hen Lane is blocked off.

Monkey puzzle tree, Lythalls Lane, Holbrooks
A monkey puzzle tree stands in a front garden on Lythalls Lane, a striking foil to the street trees, an avenue of severely pruned London planes. The monkey puzzle tree that is normally grown in Europe is the hardiest species in its genus, Araucaria araucana, which is native to Chile and Argentina, where it grows on the lower slopes of the Andes mountain range; see Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Araucaria_araucana .

Subway to the Arena
This pedestrian subway leads under the A444 Jimmy Hill Way, connecting a car park to the Arena stadium and the adjoining railway station and shopping mall. The sign probably once said 'Ricoh Arena', but 'Ricoh' has been overpainted, as the company no longer sponsors the stadium, which is now the Coventry Building Society Arena. The rainbow lights and stripes are a recent addition in 2022, perhaps in preparation for the Commonwealth Games, as some of the events will be taking place in the stadium.

Mop-top plane trees on Lythalls Lane, Coventry
The distinctive shape of these London plane trees results from severe pruning. The Hey machine tool factory can be seen in the distance.
