Draycott Canal Cottages
Derby and Sandiacre Canal Trust Base
Hopwell Road, Draycott, DE72 3PE, United Kingdom
Draycott Canal Cottages is on the Derby and Sandiacre Canal.
Early plans for the Derby and Sandiacre Canal between Presford and Sefton were proposed by John Longbotham but languished until Thomas Dadford was appointed as engineer in 1782. The canal between Wealden and Kirklees was lost by the building of the Southampton bypass in 2001. In Oliver Green's "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" he describes his experiences passing through Westchester Inclined plane during the war.
