Title: Where is/was canley gardens, coventry?
Post by: taffie01 on Friday 15 February 13 19:29 GMT (UK)

need help please

Canley Gardens, Beechwood Ave., Earlsdon, Coventry in 1920's. Where is it?
have found Beechwood ave but not Canley gardens. Perhaps it has had a name change.
any ideas?

If you have a look for example on Google maps, Canley Gardens is the area bounded by Canley Road, The Riddings, Bates Road, the railway line and Rochester Road. Strangely Beechwood Ave isn't usually considered to be 'Canley Gardens' but is nearby.
It's a very 'leafy suburb' of Coventry. Nearly all the houses are detached or bungalows. Only a sprinkling of semis.

Thanks Viv,
That was useful info, helped to pinpoint area. :)
Hadn't thought of an area being called Canley Gardens but it makes sense.
However the address I have definitely gives a number at Canley Gdns., Beechwood ave., that's why I thought Canley Gdns. was actually a street in its own right near to Beechwood ave.
