Join Haunted Heritage for a night at the <em><strong>Haunted Canalside Cottages</strong></em>!

These beautiful cottages are located at Beeston, Nottingham.

By  1796 the entire length of Nottingham Canal was open to traffic, connecting the collieries at Wollaton and Bilborough, amongst others, to Langley Mill.  This would have been the M1 of it's time with barges coming and going carrying their cargo.

The first detailed census at Beeston shows a lock house and three cottages that were occupied.  In the 1832 census, there were a total of 21 people living here, including the Eaton and the Rice family.  Although little is known about their occupations, we do know that some of the younger men were employed as boatmen.
<h3><em><b>Whose spirits reside in these beautiful cottages?</b></em></h3>
There are many known families who lived in these cottages, but most importantly, the lock keeper himself.  Mr William Barker was the first recorded lock keeper in 1832 where he resided with his family in the lock keepers cottage.

Are there other lock keepers who followed in his footsteps?
<h3><strong><i>What other tales do these cottages hold?</i></strong></h3>
There have been lots of families who have made Beeston Lock their home, and, although they may have died many years ago, could they still reside here?  Who still haunts these cottages and what stories can they tell us about the past?
<h3><em><b>What other events have taken place here?  </b></em></h3>
There is lots of history at Beeston Locks.  There are reports of thieves, criminals, accidental deaths and even floods, and so we know there is plenty to investigate at these cottages.

<strong>Why not join us on our ghost hunt and see who you will encounter?  </strong>

In the early 1980’s, the cottages became derelict as they were abandoned after the last tenants left.  The local community were concerned over the future of the buildings and so they became the focus for founding the Canalside Heritage Centre which opened in 2010.

Experience these cottages for yourself!  You may even encounter the odd ghostly horse ... why you may ask?... Well you will have to join us to find out!!
