A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [4]
New building work on Owens Road. The building will be Brooklyn House.
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.

Apartments reflected in the Coventry Canal, Foleshill
