Coventry Canal at Fradley Bridge, Staffordshire. The Coventry Canal was started in 1768, and reached Atherstone by 1771, but lack of money meant that although it was planned to end at Fradley Junction, it had still only reached Fazeley by 1790. In the meantime, the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal had been built and used the Coventry Canal's original planned line to Whittington Brook. The Grand Trunk Canal Company then continued northwards to Fradley Junction. This final section was bought back by the Coventry Company later and they placed numbers on their bridges. It explains how a long section of the canal including that pictured here is detached from the rest of the Coventry canal. The five and a half miles of canal running through Hopwas remains as part of the Birmingham and Fazeley Canal, which has un-numbered bridges. Coventry Canal Bridge No 77 at Fazeley Junction is five and a half miles from bridge No 78 at Whittington Brook. Fradley bridge is No 90.

The Coventry Canal at Fradley Bridge, Staffordshire Bridge No 90. This section of the canal was actually built by the Grand Trunk Canal Company because the Coventry Canal Company was delayed by many years through shortage of money. Eventually the Coventry Company bought it, and numbered the bridges, but could not fully reclaim the whole route from Coventry because the Birmingham and Fazeley Company built the six miles or so south of Whittington.
