Nottingham Canal
This canal fell into disuse in the 1930s following the rise of rail transport. The success of the Erewash Canal, only about 100 yards to the west, also contributed to its demise. It is now a Nature Reserve managed by Broxtowe Borough Council, which stretches from Langley Mill on the Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire border to Wollaton in Nottingham.

Newmanleys Road (South) south of Eastwood
Newmanleys Road was severed by the A610 Kimberley Eastwood Bypass; this section, which now appears totally unrelated to the rest of the road, acquired the bracketed suffix as a result. Newmanleys Road is less than 100 yards from here as the crow flies, but around half a mile away by road.

Swing bridge on the Nottingham Canal
The bridge survives as part of a public footpath and has been restored in recent years as part of Broxtowe Borough Council's programme of creating a linear nature reserve on the surviving parts of the canal. The Nottingham Canal was formally abandoned in 1938.
