A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [35]
An overflow weir on the canal which drains into Hall Brook.
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.

A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [36]
Still in the Coventry suburbs and not far from the CBS Arena, yet the canal appears to be deep in the countryside.
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.
