A village on the cusp of change. In 1851 Earlsdon was still largely rural — just a handful of households strung along Elsdon Lane (now Earlsdon Avenue South), with the White House inn, a few farms, and the Mercer family's watch manufactory at Broomfields. Within a decade the watchmaking community would transform the area completely, as recorded in the 1861 Census.
