From country estate to housing estate
From country estate to housing estate
These mature trees are all that remains of the former Rouncil Towers estate, a Victorian mansion with extensive grounds in Kenilworth. The house is long demolished after ending its days as a motel, according to local residents. The grounds are now built over with housing. A photo of the mansion in its heyday is on the estimable Windows on Warwickshire website.
