Corner of New Street & Fieldgate Lane, Kenilworth
On the left stand 1 & 2 Fieldgate Lane, dating from the early 18th century, according to the listing at Historic England https://historicengland.org.uk/listing/the-list/list-entry/1365690?section=official-list-entry .
On the right on Bridge Street is Abbotsford House, also a listed building and dating from the late 18th century, according to the listing. It was once known as Bridge House and during the First World War it housed Belgian refugees. When they moved out, Abbotsford School moved in and it acquired its current name. By 2018 the school had moved again and the house was being converted into flats; see the site of the Kenilworth History & Archaeology Society https://www.khas.co.uk/bridge-street-from-high-street-then-now/ .
Between the two houses, New Street empties traffic from Coventry, including double decker buses, into the old town.

Waiting at the traffic lights
This is the junction of the A429 and the A452. The photographer is in New Street. To the right is Fieldgate Lane, straight on is the High Street, and left is Bridge Street. Note the stop line for the lights is well back up New Street. This is to allow traffic to turn the corners in a very tight and blind junction.

Former air raid shelter
The plaque on this wall marks the bricked up entrance to a second world war air raid shelter built in Kenilworth. The structure still survives underground and continues as a mound over the other side of the wall. It stretches as far as the tree seen in the picture. The plaque gives details of this and some other war remains in the town.
