This is Turnover Bridge, No 18 across the Coventry Canal north of Marston Junction. Interestingly, a turnover bridge allowed the horses to cross from one side of the canal to the other without being unhitched from the boats. Here, the towpath no longer changes sides. The bridge is, however, still an accommodation bridge serving The Faultands farm. The long distance "Centenary Way" crosses the bridge, as does the National Cycle Route 52 https://www.sustrans.org.uk/ncn/map/route/route-52. Jo Turner adds:
