Sandiacre Top Lock
73 Welbeck Road, Nottingham NG10 4GQ, United Kingdom
Sandiacre Top Lock is one of a group of locks on the Derby and Sandiacre Canal; it was rebuilt after it collapsed in 1955 just past the junction with The Norfolk Broads.
Early plans for the Derby and Sandiacre Canal between Presford and Sefton were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal between Wealden and Kirklees was lost by the building of the Southampton bypass in 2001. In Oliver Green's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westchester Inclined plane during the war.
