I can't remember where I found the photos, but I'm pretty sure they're from the 1920's.

I knew I had seen those photos before, they are in the book Bedworth In Old Photographs by John Burton which came out in 1988.
The top photo was taken by a E.G. Tooby in the 1950s and is looking towards the Coventry Road end while the bottom one is looking towards Newtown Road. Maisonettes and flats now cover where most of them stood.
There is another photo in the book showing Roadway near the junction with Newtown Road.
Incidentally the road at the Coventry Road end was developed as Park Road between 1895 and 1915 as Bedworth expanded, the houses were/are very smart, a world away from those old ones, and are still extant today.
