Coventry Daimlers
A pair of Daimler busses not far from Canley Railway station during a Timeline Events/David Williams photo shoot.
Canley Crossing class 310 (pjs,1195)
310 050 draws into Canley Station with a train bound for Birmingham New Street. The class 310 is in original condition with curved glass cab windows which gave them a very stylish appearance. The train has just passed over Canley (Gates) Crossing and is entering the as yet un-rebuilt station which was called Canley Halt. The crossing was modernised and the signal box which was called Canley Gates was removed but in 2003 (according to Wikipedia) the crossing was closed and a footbridge for pedestrians is now the only means of crossing the line. As the picture shows the station was next to the Leyland/Triumph factory (originally Standard Triumph), when that factory was open the crossing and station was very busy.
See also Coventry Fleetline YVC 101K.
The negatives are a short strip and although he only ever printed the 310 the bus picture shows the signal box very well indeed, as it mat interest bus enthusiasts I have kept the pictures together. On the bus negative the latest registration letter is "L"August 1972 - July 1973, the trees are bare therefore I guess it is winter 1973/1974.

YVC 101K, Caught at Canley (pjs,0724)
This unprinted picture by Peter shows WMPTE (Coventry) 101Y. The bus is a Daimler Fleetline with East Lancs H44/30F body, new to Coventry in April 1972. The bus is at Canley Halt on the busy level crossing, the gates, had just been opened after the passing of 310050 and the backlog of traffic is shuffling forward.
From the railway point of view the interest lies in the LNWR signal box, the station was called Canley Gates, then it became Canley Halt, today the much quieter station is just "Canley" A lot of the traffic was generated by the Standard Triumph (later Leyland Triumph) factory which is visible on Peter's railway picture. The road crossing closed in 2003.

TRIUMPH ALBUM

The TR7 was launched in 1975, with its distinstive wedge shape designed in house by Harris Mann and powered by a slant-four 8 valve engine of 1998cc. of 105bhp that shares the same basic design as the Triumph Dolomite 1850 engine, Originally available as a Coupe, with the Convertible following
The development of a V8-engined version,required an addition bulge in the bonnet, to clear the carburettors. This produced the "double bulge" or "double bump" bonnet, characteristic of TR7s and TR8s built at Canley and Solihull.
The TR7-V8 sold in the UK1978-80 was developed as a homologation special derivative of the TR7, produced in Coupe form by BL Motorsport at Abingdon well before the launch of the near identical TR8 went on sale. The first Rally cars were converted TR7s, all had heavily tuned Rover V8s with an output of up to 300bhp in competition form allied to a five speed gearbox. No de-tuned road cars were soldand all had four wheel disc brakes, fat alloy wheels and major rear suspension changes.
The TR8 was finally launched in 1980, delayed from 1978 due to industrial action and BLs financial traumas. Intended solely for the US market and built in Coupe and Convertible variants and powered by 3626cc V8 detuned to 135bhp for the USA'
On a personal note i know that there was a large batch of cancelled export cars that remained unsold as i attended a closed disposal auction at the British Car Auction, Measham sale rooms

Needle of Knowledge Obelisk - Warwick University - 22 Apr 2017
Stefan Knapp spent years developing the technique of making works of art with enamel. He created images and patterns on sheets of steel, using coloured powdered glass and then fired them at temperatures between 750°C and 850°C. The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable coating. Knapp’s work often has a sense of movement that comes from his experience as an RAF pilot, flying over the landscape.
The obelisk is located on central campus at Warwick University, opposite Warwick Business School.
