Dist:0.2km<br/>The white bungalow is in Arthur Street, the other houses are in Herberts Lane, which starts at the junction with Henry St which can just be seen on the left. The Tanyard Stream passes under the road at this point, and goes to the left of the bungalow. Old maps show that Herberts Lane and Henry Street were laid out before this end of Arthur Street. Albion Street is in the distance.

Dist:0.2km<br/>Stagecoach Warwickshire bus 35178, operating on the X17 service from Warwick to Coventry, takes the tight turn from Albion St into Park Hill at 9am in the morning. The timetable schedules buses from opposite directions to meet at this point, which can prove a difficult manuouvre at times.

Dist:0.2km<br/>At the junction of Albion Street, Stoneleigh Road, Park Hill and Park Road. On the death of Edward Boddington, sometime between 1854 and 1861, his son John took over the Engine Inn. On 13th September 1867, John Boddington bought land from Samuel Burbery, and built for himself a new public house. One of John Boddington's sons, John Clarke Boddington (born 1838) emigrated to the United States in 1864. Once there, he worked at railway workshops before finding work at the Kansas Pacific Railroad. In 1867, just as his father was building his new pub in Kenilworth, John Clarke settled in Wyandotte County and it was his new home that gave his father the name for his new inn. JC Boddington later became Assistant Master Mechanic for what had become the Union Pacific Railroad. He was at one time a councillor in Old Wyandotte City and was described as a 'pioneer resident' in 1902. He died in 1922 and is buried in Woodlawn Cemetery, Kansas. Story from 'Victorian Kenilworth and its People' by Robin Leach.
