Should have been lifted into place yesterday but the crane was too heavy for the base put down. The TV cameras etc were waiting ready to film this.

  1. I wasted a day off work (Renishaw Hall Gardens) to go watch that, but at least I took my cross stitch pic of my workplace, and scanner to listen to air traffic control to kill the time waiting.

  2. Nice vlog Tim, I walked to Chesterfield down trans Pennine trail last year to walk down side of canal and wondered what all the work was for and now I know. Cheers mate.

  3. At the end of Bell house Lane is where this phase of restoration ends……so there’s a few thousand of ton of clay to be moved towards the Puddlebank…..a new lock to be built just past the old railway line and a new bridge at the end of Bell house Lane for the farm access…The next stage will be interesting…..new aquaduct
