The village has largely been subsumed by the growth of Nuneaton but the village centre does remain, albeit with no particularly old buildings. The 19th century buildings have not been well served by “improvements” in the post war era and a number of interesting features lost, in particular a row of weavers cottages facing The Green (perhaps better that than the decision to retain some unusual 3 storey weavers cottages, The Albion Buildings, with the large weaving windows at the top - the buildings were retained but with the distinguishing feature, the top floor, demolished!). The Green is now a car park.
