Historic Information

The road name of Bluemels Drive derives it's name from Bluemel Brothers Ltd which was a prominent British manufacturing company famously based in the village of Wolston. Originally founded in East London during the late 19th century as an umbrella and walking stick handle maker, the company relocated to Wolston in 1904 to capitalize on the rapidly growing bicycle and motor trades in nearby Coventry. While the factory closed in the late 20th century and was demolished to build a business park and housing development, its legacy lives on locally via the street name. While the extensive production sheds and old silk mill structures were demolished to make room for housing, the fine office block built in 1924 survived. It is a preserved, listed building that was converted into residential apartments - as you see here.
