As with most post-war views of Earlsdon residential streets, the frontages are complete and recognisable to any resident today. Nevertheless the differences in detail still fascinate. The tree-lined road makes a rare excursion north of the Albany Road/Earlsdon Street axis, with the historic curves of the old Earlsdon Lane preserved — quite a relief from the majority of streets planned with the subtlety of a ruler.
The railings on the edge of Hearsall Common symbolically protected the old Earlsdon from the new. But by 1927 they would not be needed as Coventry Freemen lost the right to graze their animals on the common. The Clarence pub can be seen to the right, with Coniston Road just beyond.
