Maps and Aerial Views Village Layout One road, Cromwell Lane-Hob Lane runs along the length of the village. Part of Cromwell Lane is shown at the left. Two other roads run off Cromwell Lane: Hodgetts Lane which leads to Berkswell, and Red Lane which leads to Kenilworth. In about 1500 the boundary between Warwickshire and Berkswell ran down the middle of Cromwell Lane. At the right is a map of the village. A second railway, the Berkswell to Leamington line, completed in 1884, used to run through the village. This is the straight track running North-West to South-East coloured green on the map. This railway track, which is now disused, runs through a deep cutting, and provides an area of interest and beauty where flora and fauna, including some wild orchids, are preserved.

Satellite View The image at the right is a satellite image taken by the Landsat mapping satellite. It is a low resolution image, taken from an altitude of 700 kilometres. The clearest features are the old railway line which appears black running diagonally acoss the image. The residential area of Cromwell Lane appears grey. The white area at the upper right is the Peugeot base in Torrington Avenue.

High Resolution Aerial Maps High resolution maps of the entire country have been produced by a company called GetMapping. The image at the right shows the Southern half of Cromwell Lane, and the junctions with Hodgetts Lane, and Red Lane. The white object, top right, is the Water Tower.

	The Millennium Map To celebrate the Millennium, the village has produced a large watercolour painting of the village, which is exhibited in the village hall. On the side walls are smaller needlework pictures of scenes from the village. The main painting, shown below, is the work of Mark Biddiscombe.
These are some of the needlework designs:

The Area in Saxon Times The map at the right, showing the area in Anglo-Saxon times, is from A History of Warwickshire. Two Roman roads cross the area - the Fosse Way and the Whatling Street. The map shows some settlements dating from Roman times. The Lunt Fort at Coventry is a Roman construction dating from 60AD, and there is a Roman Temple at Grimstock Hill, near Coleshill. On this map, the area in which Burton Green lies is simply labelled Forest of Arden.

Burton Green 1830-1870 The map at the right shows Burton Green as it appears in the first edition of the Ordnance Survey. This survey was initially undertaken around 1830, and the map shown here includes some revisions, for the new railways, upto around 1870. You can see that there were no houses on the East side of Cromwell Lane, and that woodland extended up to the road. You can also see that the road now named Copt Oak Close was the original entry into Charter Avenue. The shading on this map shows the slope of the land. It clearly shows the brook which has is source at the lowest point of Hodgetts Lane, and which flows down past Tile Hill station, and then towards Canley.
