Ian Moss shows us what Langley Mill looked like when the Cromford Canal went somewhere and before much of the industrial development took place around the basin and line of the canal

In the background are the former Beggarlee Wharf where the last coal traffic was loaded and the Great Northern Railway bridge, now the A610 embankment. The dress suggests 1960s. Could this be the big freeze of 1962/3? (Courtesy Brian Key)

Coal was tipped from the railway wagons onto the conveyor which lifted it and dropped it into boats. It was this traffic that kept the last half mile of canal open till 1965. The rest was closed by the LMS Act of 1944

A fine lady with a fine horse, at Langley Mill - but where exactly? We think the chimney (far right) is part of Beggarlee colliery, and there is a small hut on the offside, far left

The Erewash finished in the basin to the left, so the wide boat, probably an Upper Trent Boat, passing the tied up pair of narrowboats, is just leaving our canal
