There is a plan afoot to restore the Cromford Canal, which linked that Derbyshire village with the Erewash Canal and thence the River Trent and ultimately the whole wide world via the Humber, Thames, Severn or Mersey estuaries. In 1904 it could be written that the canal was "not much used" and "in indifferent condition"; a century later, as suggested by this view from Cinder Bank bridge in Ironville, those statements still hold true.
