The road runs behind a long fence among the trees, left. Barker's Pond is through the trees, right. The tree with the pale bark is an Ash; it's dead. The path leads to the Erewash Canal.

Barker's Pond
Barker's Pond has been a fish pond since at least the 1880s and pre-dates everything round about it.

Old warehouses at Sheet Stores
These were built for the Midland Railway's factory for the production and warehousing of the tarpaulins used on open railway wagons. This use finished in the 1960s but some of the 19th century buildings survive as a small business park.

Looking northwest across Barker's Pond, Long Eaton
Wyvern Avenue, right, overlooks this fishing lake. I saw at least one angler in place on this sunny November morning. Old maps show it as Fish Pond, later just Pond. Only streetmap.co.uk calls it Barkers Pond but I'm following Ian Calderwood in giving it an apostrophe: Image

Wyvern Marina
As far as I was aware until reading an information board close to where this was taken from this was still called the Sheet Stores Basin, but apparently not.
The board also enlightened me as to where the curious name of "Sheet Stores" came from: The origin of this group of industrial buildings was as a coal wharf for the Midland Counties Railways in 1840, as the need for canal-transported coal declined this became the Midland Railways Sheet Stores, where tarpaulins were made and repaired. That use finished in 1963 and the area is now a general industrial estate. A boatyard serves the boats, the sound of an angle grinder filled the air at the time that this was taken.
