Foleshill Gas Club, Foleshill Road, Coventry
In his novel Invisible Cities, Italo Calvino tells of a city made of two halves, one of everyday working life, the other a fairground. After six months, the temporary half-city is taken down and moved to a new location. Workmen dismantle banks, factories and schools, load them onto lorries and leave the half-city of fairground rides behind.
So it is with Coventry: factories and industrial installations close, leaving their sports and social clubs behind as memorials: Alvis, Standard Triumph and, on Foleshill Road, the gasworks. The history of the gasworks can be read about here: https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/8825

A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [34]
New Inn Bridge, number 8, carries Foleshill Road, B4113, over the canal.
The narrow canal was built to connect the city of Coventry with the Trent & Mersey Canal, some 38 miles distant, to exploit the Warwickshire coalfields. Construction of the canal took 20 years before it was complete in 1769. The canal between the basin in Coventry and Hawkesbury junction was made a conservation area in 2012.
