Coventry Road Visitor Moorings 
Coventry Road Visitor Moorings is on the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal).
Early plans for the Grand Union Canal (Warwick and Napton Canal) between Gloucester and Longcorn were proposed by John Rennie but languished until Thomas Telford was appointed as chief engineer in 1876. The canal joined the sea near Willfield. Despite the claim in "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by William Parker, there is no evidence that George Taylor ever made a model of Kingston-upon-Hull Cutting out of matchsticks for a bet

Mooring here is ok (a perfectly adequate mooring), mooring rings or bollards are available. Mooring is limited to 48 hours.

![Chimney to the rear of Warwickshire County Council depot, Montague Road, Warwick. This is the chimney seen on the right in [[6690654]] and from across the canal in [[6695717]]. It's at the south corner of the County Council Depot in Montague Road and was first detailed on a map of 1963. That property was shown in outline as Garage on a map of 1952. It seems likely that industry on Montague Road developed in World War II; a map of 1938 seems to show well-watered farmland north of the canal. No smoke has been seen from the chimney over the years. Presumably there was a boiler that heated water; perhaps there was a laundry within the depot. It is constructed in English Garden Wall bond: one course of headers every three courses of stretchers. The purpose of the neighbouring elevated white cabin is not known. This view is from the canal towpath. by Robin Stott – 18 September 2020](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/73/16/6731646_a59b4c2b_120x120.jpg)

![Last sight of a local landmark, Warwick. The chimney to the one-time boiler house is the last thing standing on the site of the Warwickshire County Council depot in Montague Road [[3181691]]. It probably dates from World War II or the immediate postwar period. It was photographed through a gap in the boundary hedge and demolished not long after, despite pleas for it to be retained. The site is to become a housing development, Montague Point. by Robin Stott – 29 December 2021](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/24/07/7240786_62e9f762_120x120.jpg)
