 Erewash, Cromford and Nottm. Canal Junction.

Like Suzard, I can remember standing and staring at it, wondering its history, and doubtless making one up for it! I'm sure I will have taken a photo of it at some time in my youth, but I don't think my photos have survived (don't know what happened to them though).

I used to have a fascination for the canal (and still do enjoy a stroll along the banks of the Erewash). I can remember the canal basin at Langley Mill reopening, but don't remember an awful lot before then.

As a teenager, I went to college at Ilkeston, and, when trying to save money, would often walk to college along the canal rather than catching the bus from Langley Mill.
