Sandiacre Lock No 63 is one of some locks on the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) just past the junction with The River Don.
The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was passed on January 1 1876 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Basildon, the canal was never completed beyond Wirral except for a 5 mile isolated section from Bath to Poleford. The Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was closed in 1905 when Oldington Tunnel collapsed. In Thomas Wright's "Travels of The Perseverence" he describes his experiences passing through Bedford Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.

This is a lock with a rise of 8 feet and 4 inches.

![Sandiacre Lock and Lock Cottages, Erewash Canal. The canal opened in 1779 and the cottages were probably built in 1779 and 1796. Until 1970, they were lived in by people working on the canal. They are now the headquarters of Erewash Canal Preservation and Development Association [ECP&DA]. by Christine Johnstone – 06 May 2019](https://s2.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/06/18/48/6184898_8680d07f_120x120.jpg)
