SP3580 : Avon Street, Stoke, Coventry
taken 1 year ago, near to Foleshill, Coventry, England
Avon Street, Stoke, Coventry
Avon Street forms part of Upper Stoke, a block of streets to the east of Barras Heath that seems to have been built up piecemeal in the 19th century with a great variety of house types. The row of six three-storey houses to the right are unmistakeably ribbon-weavers' houses with their high top-shops on the topmost floor for the tall Jacquard looms. The outlines of the large windows, now partly filled in with bricks of a different colour and texture, can clearly be seen, except on the pair of houses that have been rendered.
The pair of houses on the left has the red and yellow chequerboard brickwork that is very common in parts of Warwickshire.
