Chesterfield Canal, Killamarsh

Once upon a time, the Chesterfield Canal passed right through the middle of Killamarsh. Now sadly it's overgrown and in parts, built across. There are however plans to reinstate the canal using probably part of the Rother, making it possible once again to get from the Trent via Worksop to Chesterfield town centre. This picture shows the route of the canal as it crossed Bridge Street in Killamarsh, the canal running roughly east - west.
