Raleigh cycles works
Once one of the largest manufacturing sites in Nottingham, Raleigh's UK manufacturing base was by the end of the 20th century unable to compete with lower cost operations particularly in the far east. In 2001 the company relocated to this much smaller site, which is primarily a UK distribution facility.

Nottingham Canal Nature Reserve
This section of the Nottingham Canal is in water and this has many ducks, coots and moorhens all of which made a hasty retreat when they saw me approaching!
The Nottingham Canal was a 14.75 mile (23.6km) long canal between Langley Mill in Derbyshire and Nottingham to supplement the adjacent Erewash Canal (see Image). It opened in 1796 carrying coal from the coal fields to the City of Nottingham, the River Trent and beyond. With the advent of the railways canal traffic declined and the canal was closed in 1937. The southern section is now part of the River Trent Navigation. Since 1977, the Broxtowe Borough Council has owned and maintained the upstream sections from Wollaton to Langley Mill as a nature reserve and walking trail.
