Most of this canal has disappeared, including this section immediately after the junction of the canal with the Erewash canal [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/891877]. This short stretch has been filled in and is now a cycle and footpath leading down to Longmoor Lane, about 0.5 km away. The other side of Longmoor Lane the canal has disappeared completely under an housing estate.
