Whether this should technically be called the Beeston Canal or the Nottingham Canal seems to be a moot point. The original Nottingham Canal ran from the River Trent, just east of this point, to Langley Mill. However, beyond its junction with the Beeston Canal at Lenton, the Nottingham Canal has long been abandoned, effectively making this canal the eastwards extension of the Beeston Canal, which allows boats to avoid Beeston Weir and pass through Nottingham city centre. The stone arch bridge is untypical of the canal bridges in the centre of Nottingham.
