Railway bridge over a footpath, Willenhall, southeast Coventry
A baby compared to the massive viaducts over the rivers Sowe and Sherbourne https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/19354 but showing a family likeness. It was built to carry the London and Birmingham Railway, which opened in 1838 here. The view is from Tarquin Close, Willenhall. The path (which preceded the railway) leads to schools and Langbank Avenue on the south side of Binley.

Another old geograph revisited, and viewed from the opposite end this time; see
Image The blocks of Tarquin Close have had a revamp since then, with the addition of external insulating cladding that was installed on much of Coventry's social housing stock in the years around 2014: see
Image Once known as Ivy Walk, this long row of four-storey blocks of flats is very visible from the London to Coventry railway, which runs behind them.

Side arches, east side of railway viaduct over the River Sowe, Willenhall, Coventry
As the Historic England listing notes, there are many repairs in blue engineering brick. It makes one wonder about the quality of the original brick used.

Retained stone dressing, Sowe railway viaduct, Willenhall, southeast Coventry
It may be that in the course of repairs to, or replacement of the original (orange) brickwork, this piece of the stone dressings was retained. See
Image The extent of repairs to this and the closely similar viaduct over the Sherbourne https://www.geograph.org.uk/snippet/19354 might give cause for concern.

Corner of side arch, railway viaduct over the River Sowe, Willenhall, southeast Coventry
On the right is one of the "smaller pointed arches with blind panels" referred to in the listing, seen also in
Image They give tremendous, even creepy, character to the side arches.
