Coventry Canal: Bridge Number 35: Stoneleigh Quarry Bridge The number plates on the bridges on the Coventry Canal are generally well-looked after. This one however appears to have escaped the attention of the maintenance team as it is entirely rusty and almost indistinguishable at a distance from the brickwork. The bridge takes Quarry Lane over the canal.

Coventry Canal: Bridge Number 34 A busy scene at an isolated bridge on the canal as a narrowboat and a BWB/CRT towpath grass mowing machine both try to go through the narrow bridge arch at the same time. The tillerman appears either completely nonchalant or contemplating the costs of a collision!

The high ground to the left was once the site of Stoneleigh Quarry.

Coventry Canal: Bridge Number 33: Stoneleigh Glebe Farm Bridge Although this bridge has never been anything other than a farmers' bridge enabling access across the canal between fields it still merits Grade II Listed structure status. The fine semi-elliptical arch and the outwardly curving parapet with its blue brick saddleback coping distinguish it from some other original bridges along the canal. It was probably designed by James Brindley and built circa 1770. Very regrettably, even though it is in the middle of nowhere, some pondlife has crawled out of the canal and thought it a good idea to daub it with some paint.
