Path, cycleway and route of the former Derby and Sandiacre Canal, pictured here close to the Navigation Inn at Breaston. Plans remain afoot to regenerate the 14.5 mile-long canal which originally opened to traffic in 1796. Coal was the main cargo to be transported along the route which finally closed in 1964 following a typically long and painful decline.
