Long Eaton Lock No 61
Alexandra Mills, Milner Road, Erewash NG10 1LB, United Kingdom
Long Eaton Lock No 61 is one of a group of locks on the Grand Union Canal (Erewash Canal) and unusually has only single top and bottom gates.
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.
