A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [26]
Bridge number 6a carries Jimmy Hill Way, A444, over the canal.
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.

Feed the Ducks!
Someone has left a bag of stale bread on then gate, presumably an invitation to passers-by to feed the ducks. However there were no ducks in sight when we passed, perhaps just as well, it is supposed to be bad for ducks to feed them bread.
