Fradley Junction is the point at which the Coventry Canal joins the Trent and Mersey Canal. Josiah Wedgwood, the famous potter proposed the build of the canal from the Trent to the Mersey. Starting in 1766, it took 11 years to dig five tunnels and to complete the canal. The Coventry Canal took longer as financial constraints halted the construction.
