The Great Northern Basin was the northern end of the long-abandoned Nottingham Canal; today, boats can only reach it via the Erewash Canal. The Nottingham Canal was at one time owned by the Great Northern Railway, but the name of the pub is more likely to derive from the nearby Great Northern Pinxton branch railway, the course of which has now disappeared under the Eastwood by-pass.
