Flyover Mural

Coventry Ring Road

Over Gosford Street

I get rather excited when I notice any murals

around Coventry.  That means I can join others at

Monday Mural.

In these photos you can see a small portion of the

2 mile Ring Road which circles Coventry City Centre.

I'm not sure what this mural is all about

but I was delighted to be able to photograph it.

It is on a portion of the Ring Road which cuts through

Coventry University.

I hope you had a Happy Easter.

I do like those big chocolate Easter eggs :).

Coventry University....

....library to the left and Faculty of Engineering and Computing (silver building) to the right.

The photo above was taken last week.  I love these two buildings.  The photo below is taken through window from inside the silver building last night.  We went on a tour.  I'll show you another view 

on Friday and more from inside next week.  

Below is the view from the Ring Road (exit to London Road) looking at some of Coventry University.  Architecture here is diverse with buildings of modern design next to 

foundation ruins of a friary church dating back to 1342.

Left to Right - 

Library, 

Student accommodation (in distance), 

Faculty of Engineering and Computing (Center),  

Student Center (red brick) 

and to the foreground - friary ruins.   

Coventry is home to two outstanding universities - University of Warwick and Coventry University.

Participating in Our World Tuesday.

Tomorrow I will show you a duck :).  

N Is For Number oNe

Number One, Eaton House, Eaton Road, Coventry

This distinctive building with blue windows near Coventry Train Station stands virtually empty. It was built in 1970 and has 13 floors.  At present, there is only one business in the building.  Madness. (Nearby skyscraper, Station Tower,  is vacant. You can see the full length shot of Eaton House in the Station Tower photo.)

On a brighter note, the daffodils are just coming out now.  Hooray!  Have a safe day.

Another 'Welcome To Coventry'

Under the Ring Road (which circles around the City Centre)

What a delight went I got to this spot walking from the Train Station to the City Centre.  Walking under the Ring Road has never been pretty or interesting.  It has always been a dark, messy and wasted space that you are glad to leave behind you.  Because of the Olympic 2012, I imagine, we have a nice welcome sign and ever-changing lights that brighten up a gloomy space.  Well Done, Coventry.

Ooooooh! Nice Bench Over There.......

Volgograd Place, Under Ring Road in White Street, Coventry

Walking from Swanswell Pool towards Coventry City centre takes you under the Ring Road.  I used to find it a little intimidating walking under the Ring Road.  Not now.  Tomorrow I will focus in on that intriguing bench I can see ahead of me.  See you then for a closer look and a little story too.
