Tail of Crich Sough (Fritchley Level), which drained the Old End Mine This drainage adit, or sough, was driven to unwater the Hollins Sough lead mines at Crich and ultimately drained the very deep Old End mine, entering its shaft 420 feet from the surface. Of the mine, nothing now remains but the outfall of its adit, with the keystone bearing the date of 1753, which can still be found in the bank side of the brook, approximately 2 miles south-south west, at Fritchley.

End of Cromford Canal Before the construction of various works at this location, the canal ran through a short tunnel and then crossed both the main Derby to Sheffield railway line and the A610 road via a long and interesting aqueduct which has now been demolished. Nowadays, this waterway terminates here and is crossed by a diversionary footpath with a run off sluice.
