Coundon Court

Coundon is a predominantly residential suburb in north-west Coventry, West Midlands, England.Along with neighbouring Keresley, it was originally a village in the Warwickshire countryside, but by the 1930s had been incorporated into the city of Coventry, when mass housebuilding took place to accommodate the city's growing population.From 1951 to 2005, Coundon was the location of the Browns Lane Jaguar car factory, which for its first 47 years was the carmaker's only plant. Upon its closure in 2005, production of cars was split between factories in Castle Bromwich and Halewood, and the Browns Lane plant was largely demolished in 2008, although part of the site remains under Jaguar ownership, and some is now used by a vehicle interiors manufacturer.

Keresley is a suburban village and civil parish in the City of Coventry, West Midlands, England, about 4.5 miles (7 km) north of Coventry city centre and 3.5 miles (6 km) southwest of Bedworth.

The village features two grocers shops, two bus stops, a beauty salon, primary school, doctors surgery, a fish and chip shop, a small church, a post office, library, park, garden centre and community centre.

The Old Hall Hotel in Coundon near Coventry, England, is a building of historical significance and is Grade II listed on the English Heritage Register. It was built in about 1800 by a wealthy landowner and was called Coundon Villa and later Coundon Hall.

The Browns Lane plant in Coventry, England was built as a Second World War shadow factory run by The Daimler Company Limited. In 1951 it was leased by Jaguar Cars and remained the company's home until 2005. It was the site of all Jaguar production until 1998, when production of the Jaguar S-Type commenced at the Castle Bromwich plant, which first produced Jaguar cars in 1977. It was also the firm's corporate headquarters and the home of the Jaguar Daimler Heritage Trust. Jaguar's production at Browns Lane waned over the years, as new models were gradually assigned to Castle Bromwich Assembly in Birmingham and the former Ford Halewood Body & Assembly in Halewood, Liverpool. However, the core Jaguar XJ and XK ranges remained on the site until they were moved to Castle Bromwich in 2005. Subsequently, the Browns Lane site housed just the headquarters and museum as well as 500 staff responsible for wood veneering for Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Land Rover. Later, the headquarters moved to the Whitley plant, Whitley, Coventry but the Wood Shop (Veneer Manufacturing Centre), Museum and Pilot Build Workshop remained at Browns Lane. Australian property firm Macquarie Goodman announced its purchase of Browns Lane in 2007. This marked the end of Jaguar’s presence at the site after more than 50 years. The assembly halls were demolished in late 2008.

Brownshill Green is a suburban hamlet 3.5 miles northwest of Coventry by road, adjacent to the suburbs of Allesley, Coundon and Keresley. It is bordered on its north side by the northern boundary of Coventry and the Warwickshire village of Corley. Its main thoroughfare is Brownshill Green Road, which runs from its junction with Coundon Wedge Drive in the north to join Keresley Road in the south. Brownshill Green is a semi-rural residential area with much housing taking the form of traditional 20th century terrace or semi-detached styles. Nearby schools are generally regarded as being in the suburbs of Keresley (Keresley Grange Primary School) or Coundon (Coundon Court School). The area is also known for being the home of a large and well-established garden centre. Brownshill Green Road has the postcodes of CV6 2AQ, CV6 2DT, CV6 2DU, CV6 2AR, CV6 2EG, CV6 2AP, CV6 2AS, CV6 2DW, CV6 2EF, CV6 2AN, CV6 2AQ, CV6 2DT, CV6 2DU, CV6 2AR, CV6 2EG, CV6 2AP, CV6 2AS, CV6 2DW, CV6 2EF and CV6 2AN. As the crown flies, it is 88.79 miles northwest of central London, 2.14 miles northwest of Coventry city centre, 15.69 miles east of central Birmingham and 22.1 miles southwest of Leicester city centre. In keeping with the semirural nature of the area, the speed limit on several main roads is 40mph rather than the usual 30mph found in built-up residential areas. However, a combination of the lack of a direct bus service and the proximity of classified roads in the area means that traffic is often much slower than this, particularly during the rush hour.
