HMS Mercia was a shore establishment of the Royal Navy located in Smith Street, Coventry, England. The establishment functioned primarily as a communications training centre for Royal Navy personnel in the Midlands. The establishment was commissioned on 1 October 1984 as part of the Royal Navy's network of shore based training facilities. HMS Mercia provided training in naval communications, signalling procedures, wireless operation & administrative support functions. The unit also supported Royal Naval Reserve activities in the region, maintaining a Royal Navy presence in Coventry during the later stages of the Cold War. Located in Smith Street in central Coventry, HMS Mercia occupied premises associated with wartime & post war military administration in the city. The establishment formed part of a wider reorganisation of Royal Navy shore facilities during the 1980s, with smaller communications & reserve training units distributed across major regional centres. The establishment remained operational throughout the late 1980s & early 1990s. Following reductions in Royal Navy shore establishments after the end of the Cold War, HMS Mercia was selected for closure. The establishment paid off on 29 July 1994, when the ship's company transferred to HMS Forward in nearby Birmingham. Following the decommissioning of HMS Mercia, the establishment's ship's bell was presented to Coventry Cathedral, where it remains displayed as part of the cathedral's links with the British Armed Forces.

Ball Hill is an area within the Stoke district of Coventry, West Midlands, England. It is to the east of Coventry city centre. Walsgrave Road is the main street that runs through Ball Hill, which is a name that primarily defines the shopping area extending from the brow of the hill down to the junction with Clay Lane and Brays Lane. The Walsgrave Road forms the main route out of Coventry's city centre towards Leicester and the north-east. It passes Gosford Green, approximately half a mile from the centre of Coventry, before passing through Ball Hill about 200 metres further east. The name seems most likely to have derived from the Old Ball Hotel, still standing at the top of the hill. However, before the early 20th century, the hill was known as Stoke Knob and was mainly residential until, one by one, most of the dwellings were converted into shops. The area was originally known as Stoke Knob. The 2-Tone Village and the Coventry Music Museum are located here.
