This is the Coventry Canal, looking south-east as the waterway meanders towards Marston Junction and Bedworth. There are extensive allotments and housing off to the right, and housing off to the left. There were already allotments shown here on Victorian maps. Catgallow's Bridge is No 20A. Apparently the original bridge was wooden. https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/local-news/nuneaton-cat-gallows-why-called-13708180
