Dist:0.1km<br/>The Erewash Canal which opened in 1779 is still navigable although today's traffic is for purely leisure purposes. Football supporters, especially those of Newcastle United F.C. will remember the name of Ilkeston born John Tudor who played for the "Magpies" between 1971 and 1976. After his playing career ended, John became, for a time, the licensee of the pub that stands alongside the lock.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The lock is adjacent to the pub of the same name, a grim reminder that this was once a place where criminals were publicly executed. Compare this view with [[16535]] ; new houses have appeared in the four years since that picture was taken.

Dist:0.2km<br/>The Erewash Canal, which runs through the Erewash Valley between Trentlock and Langley Mill, is partly frozen on a cold New Year's Day. This view looks towards Gallows Inn Lock - Gallows Inn being the name of a pub adjacent to the lock and of this district of Ilkeston.

Dist:0.4km<br/>This was once the site of Trowell station - closed in January 1967. The track here was relaid in 2007; just beyond the road bridge a branch diverges to the left to Nottingham; the main line continues ahead to Toton Yard and Trent Junction, nowadays normally only used for freight.
