LMS Route: Rugby to Wolverhampton
LMS Route: Nuneaton to Leamington

Coventry Station: lnwrcov4486

An updated version of the 1841 map of the L&BR showing the junction with the Nuneaton branch and the entrance to Coventry station's goods yard. On the left in the 'V' of the junction there appears to be a level crossing over the L&BR lines with a bridge crossing the Nuneaton branch. This can be confirmed by looking at the close up as there is a drawing of a gate whilst the L&BR lines are drawn to be visible over the pathway. However, on the Nuneaton branch the lines are hidden beneath the pathway clearly showing its a bridge. Note the footbridge from Spence Park to Grovenor Road. The above map was provided by Russell Burridge who copied two huge 4ft x 2ft folders showing in detail the route as surveyed in 1841 by Binns & Clifford of Birmingham, and updated by F Wood of Rugby in 1863 and then by others up until circa 1875.
