19. The view from the canal:

The Canal

The Coventry Canal (1790) was constructed to connect the expanding city of Coventry with the Trent & Mersey Canal (to the north) and the Oxford Canal (to the south ) to exploit the potential of the Warwickshire coalfields, Commercial traffic continued north of Nuneaton until the 1960s. The section of the canal running alongside the bombed Daimler factory at Sandy Lane was my childhood playground. I have fond memories of catching minnows, sticklebacks and newts with improvised nets and taking them proudly home in jam jars. Here we look south towards the city from the Foleshill section, towards the burning city centre.
