The Derby Arm ("Private") Moorings. This canal stump, the most easterly part of the former Derby Canal, is seen here joining the Erewash Canal ahead. The canal was blocked-off beneath this road bridge in the 1960s and the canal filled in to provide a walking and cycling trail. Sandiacre Lock is situated behind the chimney visible in the picture, the chimney belonging to one of the now preserved Sandiacre Lock Cottages. This bridge carries traffic on Lock Lane towards Longmoor Lane (the B6002) to the left and to Sandiacre Lock to the right. The centre of Sandiacre lies further along the Erewash Canal, to the left.
