    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

    they’ve they’re going to need a lot of clay to redo this so if you stand on the if you stand on the end of the poal bank where it beats the river there some of it Still Remains um but because of all the subsidence if you stand there now your head is probably just about grazing the underside of the of the bed so you’re just about getting your head wet so we’ve got quite a lot of rebuilding to do and the trust donated a lot of clay by SE I think limited they called they’re a local company and I think they donated us all it’s needed to do this so that’s a massive part of the money gone that they they needed to spend which means they can get a lot further along this route with with what they have
