Quinton Works, Cheylesmore
The Quinton Road frontage of the former Quinton Works at the corner of Parkside. Originally built in 1890 as offices for a cycle works, this building figured heavily in the history of the early years of motor manufacture in Coventry and housed the Swift factory offices for several years. Other occupants include a chocolate factory around 1905 and Edwards the Printers in the latter half of the 20th century. It was rescued from imminent demolition in the 1990s and is now part of a hotel.
