Zone 3 Map
(30) Warwick Avenue
Zone Three consists of four streets: Osborne Road, Avondale Road, Styvechale Avenue and Warwick Avenue, laid out by the Earlsdon Syndicate in 1897. The Earlsdon Syndicate was a partnership of four men, Thomas Smith, Frederick Warwick, Edward James Purnell and Thomas Inger Stevens (only Purnell and Stevens came from Coventry). The Syndicate agreed to construct, and maintain, until it was adopted, a forty foot wide road from Whor Lane (now Beechwood Avenue) to Earlsdon Lane (now Earlsdon Avenue South). Numbers 88 and 86, a pair of semi-detached houses, were the first to be built on the left hand corner of Whor Lane and Styvechale Avenue in 1899. By 1917 there were thirteen houses in Warwick Avenue, eight in Styvechale Avenue, twenty five in Avondale Road, six in Osborne Road and six on Earlsdon Lane.

The central chimney servicing the two houses has a split arch to allow the valley gutter to drain into a hopper.
Photograph (37)
A large pair of houses with substantial areas of mock Tudor and a repeating arch theme. The central gable has separate bay windows at ground and first floor levels. Note also the brick arched windows and vertical ‘eye’ shaped windows adjacent to the entrances.
Photograph (38)
This pair of houses is similar in style to photo 37. The main difference is that the central bay has been hipped which has resulted in unusual triangular windows either side of the chimney stack.
Photograph (39)
This house has dormer windows at the side of the house, pebble dash, facing brickwork and an unusual fully glazed room above the entrance.
