Wash Lane Bridge over the Coventry Canal, Nuneaton

Wash Lane Bridge, carries the B4102 over the Coventry Canal to the east of Nuneaton Town Centre; it's designated number is 21 and an iron plate above the centre of the bridge arch carries that number.

Boatyard beside Coventry Canal

The boatyard adjacent to the main line of the Coventry Canal is north-west of the town centre of Nuneaton. The image was recorded from bridge No. 27, 'Wood Bridge'. The boats tied up there are all narrow boats; barges would be wider and wouldn't fit the narrow canal anyway.

Coventry Canal: Former Hartshill Quarries railway bridge

Granite was quarried at Hartshill. This railway bridge is not shown on the 1903 Ordnance Survey map but was present in the 1914 edition. By the time that the 1959 edition was published the railway itself had evidently been lifted, so the bridge has already survived without the railway for approximately the same amount of time that it did have one.

Coventry Canal: Bridge Number 28: White House Farm Bridge

This bridge is another farmers' bridge and very similar in style to SP3295 : Coventry Canal: Bridge Number 33: Stoneleigh Glebe Farm Bridge which is a Listed Structure whereas this one is not.

Coventry Canal: Hartshill winding hole

This is an unintended and poor quality copy of Roger's SP3494 : Coventry Canal north-west of Nuneaton, Warwickshire the duplication being remarkable since both were evidently taken from the stern of a moving boat! Roger's fine description tells you all you need to know.

Although some areas close to the canal through here were subject to quarrying some views retain their agricultural nature.

Coventry Canal: Reach north of Judkins Granite Quarry

The telegraph pole is a once common but now an historical oddity and seems to have been overlooked when all the rest in the line were taken down.

Coventry Canal: Site of former Bridge Number 25

Bridge Number 25 was once a farmers' bridge enabling access between the fields on either side of the canal. However with the development of Judkins Quarry to the south, left side, the fields on that side were lost and the bridge lost its purpose. The arch was subsequently demolished and only the abutments and narrowing of the canal remain.
