Pinxton - Sleights East Signal Box
A Midland Railway signal box erected in 1892. It closed in June 2007, when the line was resignalled, and was subsequently moved to the nearby car dismantlers yard. It was then bought and moved in early 2008 by the Embsay and Bolton Abbey Railway in Yorkshire to their Bolton Abbey station. It is being restored to allow the public to see how manual signal boxes worked - see Image

Pinxton Wharf
Not just another pub geograph! Pinxton Wharf is the northern terminus of the Cromford Canal http://www.cromfordcanal.org.uk/ , which opened up local coalfields and Pinxton porcelain to a wide market via the Erewash Canal. From here, an early railway (the Mansfield and Pinxton) was opened in 1819 to connect Mansfield with the canal system. Tickets to travel on the horse drawn line could be bought at the Boat Inn.

Pinxton Wharf
Looking towards the terminus of the Pinxton Arm of the Cromford Canal, originally a 3 mile stretch of water which was used to transport Pinxton Porcelain. It has long fallen into disuse but in keeping with the renewed interest in Britain's lost waterways, plans are afoot to restore this whole section.
