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 basin, lock and bridge and follow down through on 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. We see the spade in the ground for the project as Dr Hardy starts the project which should see a bridge this year. Then the canal follows down onto puddlebanks which we will see very soon on the channel!

so we’ve just launched our lock gate fund the Keith alen lockgate fund for that um and I say that’ll get built next year probably going to be triling some Fiber reinforced polymer Gates on that lock which is uh a new technology that’s not really been tried on lock Gates yet so that will be something new um if they work they should last 100 years rather than 20 years for Timber Gates which will be quite nice to quite nice to try
