Beresford Avenue, Foleshill
Beresford Avenue is one of a group of early 20th century streets in suburban Coventry with names redolent of the British empire and naval power at their peak in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: Fisher, Churchill and Durbar are others. Beresford presumably refers to Admiral Charles William de la Poer Beresford, hero of campaigns in Egypt and Sudan and later an MP and Commander in Chief of the Channel Fleet and later the Mediterrannean Fleet; a summary of his life can be found at the Beresford family site http://www.beresfordfamilysociety.org/background.html . This is now one of the most multicultural districts of Coventry, with families of mainly south Asian heritage: "We are here because you were there".
