This weeks Eastwood and Kimberley Advertiser 3 Feb 2006-has a picture from Hugh Potters book of Lock Cottage and Toll House Langley Mill. Although in good condition it was demo;ished by British Waterways in 1963 and bulldozed into the lock chamber. Permit books that recorded the passage of boats were stored in the building-some were rescued from a bonfire and donated to Derbyshire Record Office.
I feel I should remember this building (Vic Hallam's chimney can be seen in background left. Maybe my memory cells will "recharge" and I'll remember it!!

I'm currently in correspondence with Hugh Potter, the author of "The Cromford Canal" (if you are at all interested in the canal, it's an absolute must!), as the Society has acquired a couple of photos that their Society hasn't seen before. It is important that we all help each other out like this - we're all in the same business, i.e. preserving our heritage!
