The Erewash Canal passes through the centre of Sandiacre, and the small basin immediately above Sandiacre Lock (No. 11 on the canal) was once the terminal link of the now-defunct Derby Canal. Situated next to the canal in the town centre is Springfield Mills, built in 1888 and a reminder of Sandiacre's industrial heritage. Examples of lace making, engineering and furniture making can still be found today.[2] The discovery of local ironstone led to the development of Stanton Ironworks in 1787.[3] The EWS Toton depot, which lies on the edge of Sandiacre, has been a major employer in the town for a number of years.
Although there is currently no railway station, the town was once home to a terminal on the Midland Railway,[4] and passenger trains travelling on the Euston - Manchester Picadilly line still pass along the border with Stapleford.
