The mainly bricked up arches under the towpath of the Grand Union Canal are about the only evidence that the modern block of flats occupies the site of what was once Emscote Mill. In its later years this was the home of Fleur de Lys pies, a fact of which one was frequently reminded when passing by the gorgeous cooking smell emanating from the premises.Fleur de Lys pies were originally created at the [[6072]] before their popularity and success resulted in their manufacture being transferred here and them being supplied to Fish and Chip shops throughout the country. by David Stowell – 18 March 2009](https://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/01/21/01/1210164_20affc15_120x120.jpg)
![Now we know why this crossing was upgraded, Tesco, Warwick. Seen earlier in [[6397136]]. It was Tesco's private service road as well as the access to a substation. Now it is also the route for customers exiting the Click and Collect station. There must also be deliveries to the new McDonald's as well as to Tesco. The signs appear to read 'Delivery vehicles only' and 'No pedestrian access'. It is an almost traffic-free way to Tesco's on a bike: go through Click and Collect the wrong way and you're there. by Robin Stott – 09 January 2020](https://s3.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/39/68/6396863_ea497132_120x120.jpg)
