Stanton Fishing club can offer “canal fishing”, we have a stretch of the old “disused” Nutbrook Canal. Split into two sections, the top section and the bottom section, defined by the road bridge in the middle.
Nutbrook Canal History
The canal was originally built in 1796 to serve the collieries at Shipley and West Hallam until fierce competition by the railways and serious subsidence forced huge sections of the canal to close in 1895.
