The Sandiacre line of the Derby Canal was opened in 1796. Commerical traffic ceased in 1945 and the canal was officially abandoned in 1964. A voluntary society has been formed with the aim of restoring the canal to full navigation and small sections are being restored on a piecemeal basis as resources permit. (2)
