Eastern Green & Tanyard Farm

Eastern Green and Tanyard Farm sit on Coventry’s western edge, where an old village green meets later housing estates. The area is a mix of small shops, allotments and short terraces around the green, plus mid- and late‑20th century residential streets at Tanyard Farm. A compact parade of shops and a community hall serve day-to-day needs, while regular bus services provide links into the wider city. Pockets of playing fields and remnant hedgerows mark the boundary between built-up ground and the surrounding fields.

Tanyard Farm takes its name from a tannery that once stood nearby, and that industrial past can still be read in the lane pattern and in place names. Eastern Green Common remains a public open space used for sports and informal events, and the estate layout preserves stretches of former field boundary. A primary school, a few small churches and community groups form the local social framework, and pedestrian routes make short trips to shops and parks possible without a car.
