The canal runs past the Godiva Trading Estate.
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.

Old & New Foleshill
The Kurdistan Tandoori Naan takeaway on Foleshill Road has, on its side wall, a ghost sign for Spratt's Dog Food, the Spratt's name forming its distinctive terrier shape. Wikipedia tells us that Spratt's was founded in London around 1860 by the American James Spratt, and that the company pioneered hoarding or billboard advertisements in Britain and was one of the most heavily advertised brands in the early 20th century https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spratt's .
