The Rough

Site of former Stanley's Brickworks This picture was taken from the top of a mound at the bottom of Cambridge Drive, looking north-west towards Montana Walk. This landscaped green stretch of mounds and hollows, surrounded by housing developments dating from the 1980s-90s, is what has become of the land formerly occupied by Stanley's brickworks, whose factory was a little further to the east, just south of Croft School.

Coventry Canal: Bridge Number 19B: Chilvers Coton Railway Bridge The London & North Western Railway built their Coventry & Nuneaton Branch Line across the canal here, opening it in 1850. The line was closed to passenger traffic in 1965, but was reopened in 1987. The former Chilvers Coton station was just to the left of the bridge. The passer-by on the towpath is helping the man on the mobility scooter to thread his fishing line - a nice helpful gesture.
