On 19th Feb 2025 9:18pm, Mike59 said: Helen, Mike is correct, the stream follows the Canley side of the railway line (which often floods during the winter months and extreme wet periods), passes the rear of Canley Fire Station before eventually feeding into the Canley Brook not far from the Milk Bar. There is another stream that flows at the rear of the current Canley Police Station, under Canley Road between the houses and what was C&E Motors, into the same stream. That one seems to flow from the north, under the former Standard Triumph works, but where the source from there is unclear. It could be the source is around the works area. There is another stream that feeds into Canley Brook, which seems to flow between Beechwood Gardens, Westwood Gardens and Canley Gardens, through the Hearsall Golf Course down to Canley Brook and Canley Ford. It was quite a web of tributaries that flowed into Canley Brook.
As a youngster, that was my favourite "brook jumping" place. Went home many a time wet through !!

I was back in Coventry a few weeks' ago and saw a similar view. We cut through the alley from the Burges and looped around to the top, and have to comment that it felt neither appealing or safe to be honest. Are there plans to have a bar/cafe there?
