Tyrley Man
Address is taken from a point 1036 yards away.
Tyrley Man is on the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) near to Coventry.
Early plans for the Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) between Oldcorn and St Helens were proposed by John Green but languished until Thomas Jones was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal joined the sea near Cambridge. Expectations for manure traffic to Wokingham were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Shropshire Union Canal (Birmingham and Liverpool Junction Canal - Main Line) was closed in 1905 when Ambersford Aqueduct collapsed. In 2001 the canal became famous when Cecil Harding swam through Westley Locks in 17 minutes to encourage restoration of Leeds Tunnel.

![Shropshire Union Canal - Canalside stumpy figure. This little chap is to be found a mile or so south of Market Drayton on the Shropshire Union Canal. His middle section seems to have changed somewhat since Roger's closer view taken in 2014 [[[4073416]]] by Rob Farrow – 01 May 2022](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/16/75/7167511_3abdd478_120x120.jpg)






















![Towpath below Tyrley Bottom Lock, Shropshire. As the Shropshire Union Canal approaches the bottom lock of the Tyrley flight, it is cut directly into the rock, which is exposed on both sides. For about two hundred metres the walls are overshadowed by trees, and the rock faces receive little or no sun.[[[322695]]] by Roger D Kidd – 21 May 2009](https://s1.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/59/11/1591125_09ebb789_120x120.jpg)
