The historic Spon street was once a part of a route between Gosford and Birmingham which continued to be used until the 1960s when the new Inner Ring Road was completed. Historically the street has been a hub of Coventry's famous dyers and textile industries, and was later taken over by a number of watchmakers. After the Second World War ravaged the city, a number of medieval timber houses were moved from all over Conventry to join Spon Street's own surviving buildings in an effort to protect the city's architectural heritage. Today these medieval buildings have come to house a number of shops, restaurants and pubs. The street is a popular destination for tourists who are drawn to the quaint timber houses and the historic feel they lend to the entire street.
Britain has a number of heritage and preserved railway lines that have been transformed into rail museums or heritage centers. The Arley Railway Station is situated on the Severn Valley Railway Heritage line which runs 16 miles from Bridgnorth to Kidderminster. The station lies in Worcestershire and was built in 1862. It was used by the fishermen to reach the River Severn. The line was also used to transport coal from the north.
