SK4741 : Erewash Canal, Larklands

near to Ilkeston, Derbyshire, Great Britain

Erewash Canal, Larklands
Erewash Canal, Larklands
Canal and railway come close together here on the eastern outskirts of Ilkeston. The railway is used by passenger services between Nottingham and Sheffield as well as many freight trains. The canal runs from the River Trent at Trentlock northwards to the basin at Langley Mill; originally built primarily as an outlet for coal mined in the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border area, it is now used exclusively for leisure boating. Not that there was any sign of any boats moving on this cold New Year's Day, however.
