DescriptionSwanswell and Foleshill - geograph.org.uk - 560211.jpg
English: Swanswell and Foleshill In 1975, from the tower of St Michael's cathedral church. Foreground left: The white building is the Art Deco style Coventry Theatre (The Hippodrome) demolished in 2002 and replaced by an extension to the Coventry Transport Museum. The red-brick building with a tower is the old fire station, now restaurants. The trees within the inner ring road are in Lady Herbert's Garden, within which is a stretch of the old town wall (built 14th-16th centuries) at either end of which are the only two surviving town gates: Cook Street Gate at the far end and Swanswell Gate this end. Just beyond the ring road is Swanswell pool and park, next to Coventry and Warwickshire Hospital. Beyond is Foleshill and on the centre horizon the gas holders of Foleshill gas works, the last of which was demolished in 2002.
