Vernacular houses, Lockhurst Lane
These two structures are the only obvious survivors of Lockhurst Lane buildings earlier than the late 19th century, and have been much extended with commercial frontages. Lockhurst Lane formed part of the parish of Foleshill and was a centre of the ribbon-weaving industry; one of the earliest co-operative societies was founded here in 1832. https://heartofengland.coop/society/roots/

Buildings behind Park Street & Lockhurst Lane, Foleshill
This is an odd corner of Foleshill viewed through a fence from Livingstone Road. In the centre of the photo beyond the rather overgrown plot is what looks like a vernacular cottage with a crude modern extension and, behind it, some industrial buildings including a long factory building of brick.

Former Courtaulds factory, Lockhurst Lane, Foleshill
The Lockhurst Lane 'bridge of sighs' connects two parts of Courtaulds textile works, which expanded along Lockhurst Lane in the years after 1918. The factory, which was known for making rayon and similar artificial fibres, closed in the 1990s and the surviving buildings have been put to a variety of commercial uses, with some converted to housing.
