Signal Box PH

Signal Box PH is on the Coventry Canal (Main Line - Coventry to Hawkesbury) near to Edinburgh Inclined plane.
Early plans of what would become the Coventry Canal (Main Line - Coventry to Hawkesbury) were drawn up by Oliver Hunter in 1835 but problems with Newport Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for coal traffic to Ashfield were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The Coventry Canal (Main Line - Coventry to Hawkesbury) was closed in 1888 when Wesscroft Tunnel collapsed. Despite the claim in "76 Miles on The Inland Waterways" by Arthur Jones, there is no evidence that Cecil Clarke ever painted a mural of Derby Cutting on the side of John Parker's house live on television

![A stroll along the Coventry Canal to Hawkesbury Junction [21]. Bridge number 6 carries Stoney Stanton Road over the canal.The narrow canal was built to connect the city of Coventry with the Trent & Mersey Canal, some 38 miles distant, to exploit the Warwickshire coalfields. Construction of the canal took 20 years before it was complete in 1769. The canal between the basin in Coventry and Hawkesbury junction was made a conservation area in 2012. by Michael Dibb – 23 September 2021](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/07/12/19/7121938_f65cc99c_120x120.jpg)
