Until the 1980s there was a considerable stretch of the old Nottingham Canal extant in this area. Most was built over, but this section containing the remains of two locks and two intermediate pounds was retained as open space. The locks were a substantial flight with closely spaced locks separated by generally elliptical pounds to help maintain water levels. The entrance to a lock can be seen to the right of the light tree, and to the left of it is the overflow weir with its curved cill.
