Looking north-west towards Whittington and Fradley. This is the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal north-west of Fazeley Junction. Originally this was to have been part of the Coventry Canal cut to Fradley, but the next five and a half miles to near Whittington were built by the B & F. This explains the long gap between bridges numbered 77 and 78. This is often now considered to be a part of the Coventry Canal.
