Former Courtaulds building converted to housing, Foleshill Road, Coventry
Courtaulds established a factory at Coventry in 1905. It became known for the production of artificial fibres such as rayon and, more recently, Tencel. The factory closed in the early 1990s but parts of it have been preserved through conversion to other uses, such as offices. This building, across the road from the main site, has recently (2020-21) been converted into housing.
