Longford Junction
Although there is no junction here now, this was the original site of the junction between the Oxford Canal and the Coventry Canal - the two canals running in parallel for the mile or so between here and Hawkesbury. The Coventry Canal's wharf was where the wood yard is now.

A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [41]
Shortly after passing under Longford Bridge, bridge 10, the canal turn sharply. These boats are moored on the inside of the bend.
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.

Coventry Canal
Narrowboats moored in a wider part of the canal. I gather that this was the original junction of the Coventry and Oxford Canals, which originally ran parallel for a mile or so.
