From The Telegraph :
Pictures have emerged of a blaze near the Holyhead Road in Coventry last night.
Unconfirmed reports on social media suggested the blaze was at or near the London Taxi Company's factory based on Holyhead Road but firefighters apparently quickly dealt with the situation and put the fire out.
The factory is near the Sytner BMW site, opposite the Alvis Retail Park in Coundon.
Word of the fire became apparent after photographs were posted on various social media websites.
There were no details available from the emergency services last night.
The London Taxi company has opened a new factory in Ansty to build the new version of the famous London black cab.
