Cromford Canal Devastation.
replied on: 11/23/2004 11:01:25 PM I'm not quite close enough to the Cut for that to be the case, unfortunately, and the bike's wheels don't seem to be going round as fast as they once did. It must be rust, or something, accumulating round the axles? But it is a very worthy cause to be a member of. So if any bored Langley Mill teenagers want to stop being bored for a year or two............ Azzabuv. |

Cromford Canal Devastation.
replied on: 11/23/2004 5:58:43 PM That's certainly the intention - only hope it comes to fruition. The Friends of Cromford Canal have a website, and always welcome new members. |

Cromford Canal Devastation.
replied on: 11/22/2004 9:03:17 PM In the early 1990s, after a pleasent walk along the Erewash Canal side, my wife and i arrived at the three canals junction. What a sorry site for sore eyes. There was the itsy-bitsy marina, but above all, the complete destruction of the in-filled Cromford Canal. To say our flabbers were completely ghasted, is to put it mildly. Our proposed journey towards Codnor Castle was forcibly postponed. The loss of the Canal was/is a tragic blow for Langley Mill, financially, visually and scenically. Perhaps when the old Canal is once more restored to its former pristine glory, the future of Langley Mill will look a little rosier? Is it true that the canal will perhaps be re-dug out again by Countryside volunteers and restored (hopefully) to its past glory and if so, when? Azzabuv. |
