Prompts: Elf house in spooky woods, misty moonlight

Style: The City

Not many days left before Halloween so I need to post these spooky places while I can. And I still haven't touched the trick-or-treat bags of candy. That has never happened before!

Enjoy the walk in the woods but look out for the creepy crawlies.

The Erewash Canal at Sandiacre—where industrial heritage meets tranquil waters. Barges here have quite the story to tell.

🚢 Historical Role of Barges at Sandiacre

- Coal Transport: Originally, barges were vital for moving coal from Derbyshire’s pits to the River Trent for onward trade to Nottingham and Leicester.

- Industrial Goods: They also carried pottery, textiles, iron, and even bombshells during WWII from Stanton Ironworks.

- Commercial Decline: With the rise of railways in the 19th century, barge traffic dwindled. By 1952, the last commercial narrowboat operation ended.

🏡 Sandiacre’s Canal Scene Today

- Sandiacre Lock Cottages: These restored lock keeper’s cottages and stables are a charming nod to the canal’s working past.

- Padmore Moorings: A popular spot for pleasure craft and narrowboats, offering moorings and access to local amenities.

- Preservation Efforts: The Erewash Canal Preservation & Development Association (ECP&DA) was formed in 1968 to save the canal from closure. Their work led to its upgrade to ‘cruiseway’ status in the 1980s.

🌿 Leisure and Wildlife

- Boating: While commercial barges are long gone, leisure boating thrives. The canal is quieter than others, making it ideal for peaceful cruising.

- Fishing & Nature: Anglers enjoy catching roach, bream, chub, and perch. The surrounding area is rich in wildlife, with kingfishers, herons, and even water voles spotted nearby.

📏 Barge Dimensions

- Max Length: 80 ft 4 in

- Max Width: 13 ft 5 in

- Draught: 4 ft

- Headroom: 7 ft 4 in

These specs allow for broad-beam barges, though most modern traffic is narrowboats.
