Wot no canal?
This bridge carried the A610 bypass over a mineral railway, now closed. The Friends of the Cromford Canal hope that it will be the route for a restored canal (the original route having been severed by the A610). http://cromfordcanal.info

The unnavigable Cromford Canal, north of Langley Mill
This was the only freight route for early industry around Cromford, Pinxton and Butterley. Horses pulled boats loaded with coal and other freight to Nottingham, Leicester, Grantham, Market Harborough and even further afield.

Winding hole on the Cromford Canal, Langley Mill
ECP&DA moorings and a winding hole for boats visiting Langley Mill. The Cromford Canal opened in 1794, mostly to carry coal. Most of the canal was abandoned in 1994 and all of it in 1962. This section was restored by ECP&DA during 1972-3, to serve as moorings at the top of the Erewash Canal.

Sir Charles Napier
Inn sign of the now closed pub on Cromford Road. This could have been named after either General Sir Charles James Napier or his cousin Admiral Sir Charles John Napier. The sign certainly shows a gentleman in naval uniform, so one has to assume the latter.
