Hi Jim,
You might be able to get an idea of where Ryton is
relative to Coventry itself from here:
http://www.sunbeam.org.au/factories/ryton.htm
The factory is right on the city outskirts.
There's another Rootes/Peugeot factory closer to the
city. It's even older than Ryton, dating back to the
late 1890s/early 1900s. Cars haven't been produced
there since, oh, just after the war I think. Last I
heard it was scheduled for demolition to make way for
a fancy new office block. If that's not bad enough
this site was also home to the Rootes Competitions
Dept which will no doubt be knocked down too. :(
