Description: Bridge No 13, Coventry Canal, Bedworth, Warwickshire This is Bedworth Hill Bridge. The Act of Parliament enabling the construction of the Coventry Canal was passed in 1768, and construction as far as Atherstone by 1771 was followed by the company running out of money and the bsacking of James Brindley. One of the purposes of the canal was to provide Coventry with a regular supply of cheap coal from the Bedworth coalfield, which it already did by 1769.
