Nottingham Canal remains
Until the 1980s there was a considerable stretch of the old Nottingham Canal extant in this area. Most was built over, but this section containing the remains of two locks and two intermediate pounds was retained as open space. The locks were a substantial flight with closely spaced locks separated by generally elliptical pounds to help maintain water levels. The entrance to a lock can be seen to the right of the light tree, and to the left of it is the overflow weir with its curved cill.

Lock weir
The curved stonework is the cill of the overflow past one of the locks on the old Nottingham Canal. The lock itself was just beyond it.

Railway Line Looking East
I'm not sure what services now use this line, in the days of British Rail trains from Sheffield to St Pancras via Nottingham came this way.
Heading east the line goes to Nottingham station passing through Lenton.

Nottingham Canal lock
The large block in the foreground is one of the heelstones for the upper pair of gates of the lock; its fellow for the lower gate can be seen in the vegetation beyond. The curved cut-out is where the heelpost of the lock gate would have turned.
