Derby & Erewash Canal Junction, Derbys.

The Derby Arm ("Private") Moorings on a stump of the most easterly part of the former Derby Canal are seen here with the Erewash Canal forming the top of the T bar feature of this navigational junction. The footpath links Lock Lane bridge and Sandiacre Lock and Sandiacre Lock Cottages. During the 1960s the Derby Canal was blocked off and filled in behind where the photographer stood to take this picture, i.e. beneath the humped-back Lock Lane road bridge that is situated in front of the bows of these barges. The centre of Sandiacre is situated about 5-10 minutes away along the Erewash Canal towpath, to the left.
