With the former straddle warehouse (a.k.a. "Pickford's Depository") behind the photographer, this is the view towards a T junction of Canal Road with Kilton Road. The Albion Mill, parts of which date from 1906, can be seen ahead on the opposite bank. The flour mill, which has its main (front) entrance on Eastgate, is currently owned by Whitworth Bros. of Wellingborough. The Chesterfield Canal originally covered a distance of 46 miles (or 74 km) from the River Trent at West Stockwith, Nottinghamshire to Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Currently 31.6 miles (or 50.9 km) of the canal is navigable in two unjoined stretches.
