Ball Hill looking towards town

Staying on Ball Hill, we move just fifty or so yards closer to town, revealing a subtly different view. One item missing in this photo from around 1912 is the railway bridge, built two years later to carry the Coventry Loop Line, which relieved Coventry Station of heavy freight from Nuneaton.

Click on the photograph for the 2022 scene, complete with the bridge - no longer in use by the railway but, since the early 1990s, part of the A444 north-south bypass.
