SS Cars, Triumph, Riley and Dunlop all had factories in this part of Coventry so a Piston Ring works would fit in with the other industries. There is a railway station at centre left of the picture which was Foleshill station. |

again, details correct. The chimneys are those of local factories (including Brett's???) while some in the background will be for Webster's Brick Works. |
