The Nutbrook Canal was a canal in England which ran between Shipley Derbyshire and the Erewash Canal joining it near Trowell. It was built to serve the collieries at Shipley and West Hallam and was completed in 1796. It was initially profitable but from 1846 faced competition from the railways and more seriously subsidence caused by the coal mines that it was built to serve.
