Tamworth Road, Polesworth

Built around 1810 the cottages were originally one individual property and were built by the Coventry Canal Co as a canal Foreman's accommodation. As the canal became busier when it connected with the northern Trent & Mersey and also the Birmingham Canal Navigations more employees were required. The house was extended backwards in around 1835 and turned into a pair of cottages. These were then occupied by Lengthsmen (employees who looked after their canal length).

In the 1950's the houses passed into ownership of British Waterways when the canals were nationalised and continued being used by employees. They were acquired by a local canal related business in the early 2000's at an asset disposal auction and continued to home canal workers.

They offer a unique position looking across the flood plain of the Anker valley and also adjacent to the Coventry Canal. Living by water without the flood risk as the canal level is maintained by weirs and will never overspill! You really feel like your tucked away in a world of your own yet still within walking distance of Polesworth facilities.
