The smart iron bridge carries the towpath across an arm on the left which is a remnant of the original canal built by Brindley and Simcock in the eighteenth century. This 300 metre arm is now used for moorings and by a boatyard. The straightened and shortened canal (1829-1834) engineered by Cubitt is seen here, looking west towards Newbold and Coventry.
