On 18 February we visited Sandiacre Lock Cottages on the Erewash Canal for an Open day which they hold on a monthly basis. The cottages were built in 1779 and became derelict in 1961. They were condemned by British Waterways and due for demolition in 1964. However they were saved by members of the 'Erewash Canal Preservation and Development Association' who purchased and have lovingly restored them. It was great to look around and the volunteers were on hand to give some interesting historical facts. They had some wonderful quintessential English refreshments available for just a nominal donation. A list of the open days during 2024 is below.
