This print captures the relentless efforts of the police to eradicate Wood End, Coventry's off-road motorcycling craze that plagued the community for over a decade. Dating back to 12th May 1992, this snapshot showcases the aftermath of a recent crackdown that sparked intense riots between determined youths and law enforcement. The image reveals a poignant scene at Stoney Stanton Police Station, where confiscated motorbikes from these unruly gatherings are impounded. Rows upon rows of powerful machines stand as silent witnesses to the chaos they once incited on the streets of this West Midlands housing estate. The sight is both striking and sobering; it serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained this dangerous subculture had become within Wood End's youth.
