The near, higher, bridge here is Perkin's Bridge which once provided a route over the canal to and from Glebe Farm, which was just on the north side to the right here. The farm was subsequently redeveloped into an industrial estate, and a new bridge to the east, behind the photographer, was built, carrying Consul Road into the estate. The far, lower, bridge carried the now dismantled former Midland Railway's Rugby to Leicester line over the canal.
