Join me in Derbyshire as we follow the beautiful chesterfield canal as the restoration continues in the west, aiming to plug the gap and join the rest of the restored Chesterfield Canal as it winds its way down to the River Trent.
Today we are at Staveley looking at the second part of the Staveley town deal. Under the massive road bridges and away from the old open cast line which now holds the basin. Here several railways crossed the canal which are now abandoned and the planned HS2 depot was to cross. Now the trans pennine trail needs to cross the canal at a new footbridge that takes the cycle way across the canal. Then the canal follows down onto puddlebanks which is a fascinating area which we explore today, from interlocking clay blocks to a massive aqueduct as the canal goes high on an embankment winding it’s way through towards the Norbridge Arm, Renishaw. Killamarsh and towards the locks and Norwood Tunnel

the canal trusts now have the experience and the power and they’ve got some really good people in charge now who who are running the trust uh the former chairman who unfortunately passed away did loads for the canal and his legacy is continuing along this route now and with that experience things can be done a lot quicker so if the tunnel can be done and the locks can be done that go um around kiler Marsh I think it’s called where the canal was built on there’s a very real possibility that this could be done in the time period they’re looking at which would be incredible

The gap between Worksop and chesterfield has been needed done for ages and would make it really the Retford chesterfield canal and no just Worksop to the Trent with the chesterfield side just some short spur
