Sitting at the far western edge of Coventry, Eastern Green is a mainly residential suburb that was once a village in Warwickshire before being absorbed into the city. The suburb divides loosely into Upper Eastern Green to the west and Lower Eastern Green to the east, though most residents treat it as a single place without drawing a firm line between the two. To the south lies Tile Hill North, while Allesley, Allesley Green, and Whoberley border the northern and eastern edges. The western boundary meets the Metropolitan Borough of Solihull, with the village of Berkswell and the hamlet of Pickford Green just beyond it. The A45 Coventry to Birmingham dual-carriageway runs along the eastern side of the nearby sub-district of Mount Nod, which sits between Lower Eastern Green and the road itself. There is also a small sub-district of Hockley along Hockley Lane, though again residents rarely distinguish it from Eastern Green proper.
Alles Brook and Green Space
A stream called Alles Brook – known locally simply as “The Brook” – runs west to east through the middle of the suburb. Along stretches of its course, the brook passes through a narrow band of green land lined with trees and shrubs, giving the area a quiet, semi-rural character in places. The brook is a tributary of the River Sherbourne. National Express Coventry route 14 connects Eastern Green to Whoberley, Spon End, and Coventry city centre.
The Church of St Andrew
On the western border of the suburb, the Church of St Andrew in Upper Eastern Green was established in 1875 and is part of the Church of England. It looks out over farmland and across towards Solihull to the west, with Home Farm sitting directly to its western side. Adjacent to the church grounds on the east is St Andrew’s Church of England Infants’ School, which shares its name with the church and serves the local community.
