From the adjacent marker post on the right this is a UKOP oil pipeline. The pipeline has been positioned here to maximize the use of the local narrowing of the canal where an old bridge once stood. That bridge carried the Glascote & Amington Colliery Railway over the canal, being a spur line off the main Tamworth to Nuneaton line to the north.
