A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [18]
An increasingly rare sight is this chimney, which was part of the former Webster's Brick works off Stoney Stanton Road. The narrow canal was built to connect the city of Coventry with the Trent & Mersey Canal, some 38 miles distant, to exploit the Warwickshire coalfields. Construction of the canal took 20 years before it was complete in 1769. The canal between the basin in Coventry and Hawkesbury junction was made a conservation area in 2012.

Paradise abandoned
The Growing Paradise community garden is looking very neglected. It is situated behind St. Barnabas Church of Masihi Sandesh at the crook of Oliver Street. This district of Coventry off Stoney Stanton Road is marked as Paradise on many maps.

Red House Park, Foleshill, with factory buildings beyond
This is a view of part of Red House Park on Stoney Stanton Road, Coventry, looking southwards to the factory buildings located between the park, Oliver Street and Cromwell Street. This district of Coventry was dominated by the Coventry Ordnance Works, an armaments factory, which closed in 1925, although some of its buildings survive. The factory buildings in this photo are not marked on the OS Six Inch map of 1912; if they were part of the ordnance works they were built after that date, perhaps during the first world war. https://maps.nls.uk/geo/explore/side-by-side/#zoom=17&lat=52.42371&lon=-1.49354&layers=10&right=OSAPI For more on Red House Park see Image For a detail of the graffiti on the wall, see Image For more on the Coventry Ordnance Works see Image

Coventry Canal passing under Waterman Road
Waterman Road links Red Lane with a large roundabout on the A444 Jimmy Hill Way, which was built in the 1990s, so this bridge-tunnel presumably dates from this time also. The new A444 was built on the route of a disused railway, and the OS one inch 7th series 1955-61 map shows a railway bridge here, carrying a siding to the ordnance works on Red Lane.
