As the name suggests, Coventry Road is the section of the main Rugby to Coventry road from the central point of the triangle area (formerly the Triangle Garage) towards Coventry, stretching as far as the Parish Boundary in the Grange Farm area.

On leaving the village towards Limestone Lane, the first house to be seen, even back in the middle of the nineteenth century, would have been Ivy Cottage, just before the junction with Limestone Hall Lane – see here for how Lord John Scott and his wife, along with future Lords of the Manor looked after their villagers.

The eminent Rugby Historian Matthew Holbeche Bloxam gave his thoughts on this road, and the surrounding villages in a Rugby Advertiser article 150 years ago – discussed here.
