Station Walk

Warwick Road
What you see between Coventry Train Station
and the City Centre.


The Spires just past the mirror architecture,


and plenty of flowers.


The powers that be (in this case, Coventry City Council, I believe),
have done an amazing job.  Even on a very dull day,
this all looks so pretty for those walking between 
town and the train station.

Occasional Seating

Between City Centre and Coventry Railway Station


I was amused by these chairs.  They are
a tad random.  I thought someone just left them there.


It is the design.  Cemented in the brickwork (I checked).
A place to rest (I guess) on the walk between the
train station and town.  Overall the area looks pretty nice and
welcoming to visitors to Coventry.

Behind me - a total mess (for now).  I'll explain and show you more
in the week :).

Coventry Pubs #2 - The Rocket

Warwick Road, Coventry


Unfortunately, this public house is now closed and
boarded up.  It is located next to Coventry Railway Station.
I thought I had better get a photo, in case it is demolished.

The train in the sign is the Stephenson's Rocket.

Q Is For Quadrant...

...The Quadrant building in Warwick Road, that is.




The Quadrant has a curved frontage like a crescent.  You see half of it here.


How handy, a sign on the building that tells the whole story.
The Quadrant is located between the train station and the City Centre.
Unmissable by its appearance but completely surrounded by zillions of cars. 
By the way, it is currently home for businesses rather than being residential.

Angela Brazil (children's writer) lived and worked here between 1911 and 1947.
