Description: The Canal was constructed in the 1790's, was 33 miles long and ran between Nottingham and Grantham. It finally closed to all traffic in 1929, unable to compete with the railways, and was officially abandoned in 1936. Most of the canal continued to have water in it, to supply farms with water for the fields, but some sections were filled in. The canal is currently undergoing restoration. Behind the locks are the stands of Nottingham Forest Football Club, with Trent Bridge away in the distance on the right.
