House on Ruskin Avenue, New Sawley
New Sawley is sandwiched between the railway line, the M1 motorway, and the B6002 (Wilsthorpe Road). This attractive older house is typical of the houses closer to the main road (Wilsthorpe Road); further along the road (towards the motorway) the housing is much more modern.

Carlton Road
The first house on the left seems to have had a very good extension or redesign, with the huge triangular topped window above the main entrance.

Footpath by the railway
This was originally a field path to Sawley but urbanisation and diversions have left it hemmed-in and subject to vandalism and anti-social behaviour.

Railway bridge over a footpath
This was originally a farm access but the footpath was diverted this way to avoid a level crossing in the early 20th century.

New offices of the Three Valleys Housing Association
This Association now administers all ex-council housing in the Borough of Erewash.
The factory which stood here until recently was presumably originally involved in the lace, or other textile, industry. Latterly it was a depot for Brakes - the food distributor.

Church of St Mary, Sawley
Constructed as a Chapel of Ease for the parish of All Saints, this is the only remaining 'tin tabernacle' still in use as a place of worship in the Diocese of Derby. It was presented by the parish of Heanor as a temporary building in 1912 and has recently passed its centenary. After refurbishment in 2013 it is good for quite a few years more.
