Canal House, Drapers Fields
Canal House, viewed across the hump-back Draper Fields Bridge (Bridge no.1)[1]. The house was used by Coventry Canal Company from 1809 until the nationalisation of the waterways in 1948. The curved brickwork in the foreground is part of the high bridge parapet - the handrail is set at a normal height!
The house can be clearly seen from a different angle on the left in this 1975 view: http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/380245
