Exhall: Black Bank Pool
The pool is shown on the earliest edition of the large scale Ordnance Survey mapping currently available on line, dating from 1887, although to a stranger its origins are not clear. Did it have a function connected with the nearby Exhall Colliery, or the local brickmaking industry, or is it a naturally occurring feature?
Trying to research its origins on the internet it appears that the new residential development on the left was a source of much discontent amongst various parties in the 2000s.

Bedworth: Former Newdigate Colliery Mineral Railway
This is the route of the former Newdigate Colliery Mineral Railway in Black Bank. The railway ran as a spur off the line between Coventry and Nuneaton. The colliery was the last to close in the Bedworth area, ceasing operations in 1982.
Today this section of the dismantled railway forms part of the route of the Coventry Way http://www.acoventryway.org.uk/ a long distance footpath that circumnavigates the city over a distance of about 40 miles.
