COVENTRY CANAL, a canal in Warwick and Stafford; northward from Coventry to Nuneaton, and north-westward thence to Fradley Heath, 4 miles NE of Lichfield. It was formed in 1790; is 32¼ miles long; and rises 96 feet, with 14 locks. It goes from Coventry to Longford; is joined there by the Oxford canal; goes thence to Marston Bridge, where it is joined by the Ashby-de-la-Zouch canal; goes thence to Nuneaton, Atherstone, and Tamworth, somewhat parallel to the Trent Valley railway; is joined at Tamworth by the Fazeley canal; and goes thence along the east border of Stafford, to Fradley Heath, where it forms a junction with the Grand Trunk canal.
