This section of the canal from Atherstone to Fazeley was completed in 1790, 19 years after an initial "cash-flow problem" had halted proceedings following the building of the first phase from Coventry in 1771. The bridge ahead is No 70, which allows foot and cycle access from Bridge Street to the towpath.
