This area is now a large roundabout, "Swan Island" - to the right and below was The Swan pub which has given its name to the shopping centre (and its huge car park) which now occupies most of the nearby land above Coventry Road.

Church Road. Where this marker is is now a car park associated with the new shopping centre, Church Road has been given a semi-circular kink towards the left of this image.

This area has been seriously redeveloped, I doubt if there is a building in this image still standing- apart from the terraced houses on Lily Road.

I cannot locate where "royal steam" came from but Hardings Bakery was well known, purchased some other companies, and went into Allied Bakeries. Mothers Pride and Mr Kipling are associated trade names associated with this bakery.

When the first shopping centre was built the bakery moved to Granby Avenue and became Milanda's.

I don't think Lily Road appears in this photo? Lily Road is a bit further along the Coventry Road, left off the main road (travelling out of the City) just past what was the Tivoli Cinema.
