View of Albany Road bridge being built as a replacement to an under occupation bridge which provided access from Earlsdon village to St Thomas Church, the Butts, which served Earlsdon. This original structure was built with substantial abutments unlike Spon End Arches just a little further up the line to Nuneaton. When first built in 1850 these arches fell down because of the poor quality stone used in its construction.
