About Earlsdon
A neighbourhood with deep roots
Earlsdon Online is a community resource for people living in the Earlsdon area of Coventry. It is intended as a gateway to local information, history, and community life.
From its origins as 30 acres of farmland bought in 1851, Earlsdon grew into one of Coventry's most desirable residential districts. With little redevelopment over the decades, it has kept much of its original character.
