Falkener House, Stoney Stanton Road, Coventry
One of a number of similarly-styled tower blocks dotted about the northern fringes of Coventry, standing like sentries as if to provide early warning of incursions by Nuneaton or Hinckley. They are distinguished by projecting white concrete bands and closely resemble designs by City Architect, Arthur Ling. Built 1961.

Red House Park, Stoney Stanton Road, Foleshill
Red House Park is a well-used green space in this very built-up area of Coventry. It takes its name from the Red House public house which stood on Stoney Stanton Road, to the right of this picture. Later known as Fatty Arbuckle's, it closed in 1995 and the blocks of flats called Rathbone Court, visible at the right hand side of this photo, was built on the site. The OS Six Inch Map of 1912 shows a football ground where the park now stands. See Fry, D & Smith A: The Coventry we have lost: Forgotten Foleshill, Simanda Press, 2018, pp93-94. The OS 1:10560 series map of 1949-1970 shows allotments at the rear, adjoining Freeman Street, now also part of the park https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=52.42442&lon=-1.49287&layers=193&right=OSAPI .

Junction of Broad Street & Stoney Stanton Road, Foleshill, Coventry
Broad Street, under its older name of Brick Kiln Lane, and Stoney Stanton Road were roads in the rural parish of Foleshill, which was settled by ribbon weavers and coal miners in the 18th and 19th centuries. The area was incorporated into Coventry in 1899, by which time it was rapidly being built up. (Fry, D & Smith, A, The Coventry we have lost: Forgotten Foleshill, Simanda Press, 2018, p23). To the left in this picture, and with a small golden dome, can be seen the Ukrainian Catholic Church of St Wolodymyr, on the site of a Wesleyan chapel that was destroyed in the second world war Image On the far side of Stoney Stanton Road stands the building formerly occupied by Purewall Wines, which still carries the ghost of an advertisement for the corn merchant that occupied the premises in the earlier 20th century Image The junction is overlooked by the 17-storey Falkener House block of flats, built by the city council and completed in 1968. Though not visible here, as it is behind the photographer, it can be seen in this geograph Image
