Pooley Heritage Centre Bridge No 56
Pooley Heritage Centre Bridge No 56 carries the road from Derby to Weststone over the Coventry Canal (Main Line - Hawkesbury to Fazeley) just past the junction with Sir Thomas Telford's Canal.
The Coventry Canal (Main Line - Hawkesbury to Fazeley) was built by Nicholas Wright and opened on January 1 1835. In his autobiography Oliver Taylor writes of his experiences as a boatman in the 1960s

There is a bridge here which takes pedestrian traffic over the canal.
