Spon End is a stretch of the B4101 to the west of Coventry city centre. Spon End viaduct carries the Coventry to Nuneaton railway and was originally built of locally quarried stone between 1848 and 1849. Unfortunately, 23 of the 28 arches collapsed in 1857 and the viaduct had to be rebuilt using blue brick. Through the arches Spon Gate House can be seen.
