Route of tramway shown on 19th century maps running between Pinxton Wharf and various collieries to the east and north-east. Sanderson's map of 1835 shows the route running east from Pinxton Wharf along the north side of the River Erewash and then turning north to a colliery at SK 464 552 [SMR 11913] and to a pit at SK 462 556 [SMR 11914]. (1) The northernmost section of the tramway had disappeared by the 1880s. However, the tramway continued to run to the colliery at SK 464 552. A branch had also been added to run further east, to Langton Colliery in Nottinghamshire. (2)
