This is the route of the former Newdigate Colliery Mineral Railway in Black Bank. The railway ran as a spur off the line between Coventry and Nuneaton. The colliery was the last to close in the Bedworth area, ceasing operations in 1982. Today this section of the dismantled railway forms part of the route of the Coventry Way http://www.acoventryway.org.uk/ a long distance footpath that circumnavigates the city over a distance of about 40 miles.
