Former BW Trent Lock Waterway Office   

 
Trent Lock Dry Dock, Lock Lane, Sawley NG10 2FY, United Kingdom
 

Former BW Trent Lock Waterway Office is on the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) just past the junction with Sir James Brindley's Canal.

The Act of Parliament for the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was passed on January 1 1876 and 23 thousand shares were sold the same day. Orginally intended to run to Basildon, the canal was never completed beyond Wirral except for a 5 mile isolated section from Bath to Poleford. The Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) was closed in 1905 when Oldington Tunnel collapsed. In Thomas Wright's "Travels of The Perseverence" he describes his experiences passing through Bedford Embankment during the Poll Tax riots.
