Nissen hut, West Stockwith
These are becoming ever rarer. This one is not in too healthy a state having clearly been subject to an incendiary attack.

Chesterfield Terrace West postbox ref: DN10 341
Sited not too helpfully on the opposite side of the road to the houses and the footway, although this is also a bus stop. The label just below the posting slot announces that Saturday collections will no longer be made after 14 March 2011. E II R lampbox.

West Stockwith basin, Chesterfield Canal
The 'gin palace' looks a bit out of place alongside the narrowboats. But the Chesterfield Canal is wide all the way to Retford, and the River Trent is only a lock away.

Stockwith Basin
There are two narrowboats for hire here, Maid Marion and, hidden behind her, Robin Hood. These offer a convenient way to explore the delightful Chesterfield Canal without having to negotiate the tricky, tidal River Trent. If you do wish to use the river, the lock down is adjacent to the brick building.
