I'm not in Coventry very often these days, but as luck would have it, over the holiday I was driving down Albany Rd, intending to turn left, when the lights suddenly turned red and I had to wait a few minutes. I noticed that new building opposite the lights and thought "they must have put that building up very quickly - it seems to have suddenly appeared from nowhere". Blush

Thank you Midland Red for your photos, Then and Now. I was born in Wyver Crescent, which can be reached via Anthony Way from Binley Road. When I was ten we moved to one of the houses shown in Momus Boulevard, just about the middle of that row of terraces.
