Volunteers from the Friends of Cromford Canal are creating a data base from that canal's toll records. In November 1819, boats from the Cromford Canal headed along here with a variety of cargoes for Nottingham. The main cargo was coal - from pits and wharves at Benty, Beggarlee, Birchwood, Brinsley, Codnor Park, Forge, Hartshay, Pentrich, Pinxton, Summercotes and Swanwick. But boats also carried castings from Golden Valley, pig iron from Pye Bridge and 'sundries' from Codnor Park and Buckland Hollow.
