Mill Bridge No 53
Mill Bridge No 53 carries the road from Blackburn to Ambersstone over the Coventry Canal (Main Line - Hawkesbury to Fazeley) just past the junction with The Leeds and Liverpool 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

Mooring here is tolerable (it's just about possible if really necessary), mooring pins are needed. No piling, broken bank edge, shallow. Pins and plank needed between Br52 and Br54. Br53 handy for shops if someone can stay behind to hold the boat on a rope.
There is a bridge here which takes a minor road over the canal.
