Modern housing alongside the Chesterfield Canal.

Misterton Low Lock can be seen through the road bridge.

Looking from the top lock towards the bottom one, as I have the paddle up waiting for this lock to empty. The A161 crosses the bridge ahead.

The Shell Guide to Nottinghamshire says of Misterton: "It is a strange part of the world. The church stands in the centre of the old village, accompanied by older cottages and farms - some with fine buildings and - Nonconformist chapels. The Chesterfield Canal passes through the village on its way to join the Trent at West Stockwith; there is a delightful walk along the towpath." The Chesterfield Canal officially opened in 1777. It originally extended 46 miles from the River Trent through Misterton, Worksop and Retford before arriving at its terminus in Chesterfield. The last recorded commercial cargo was in the 1960s. In 1976 the Chesterfield Canal Society, now known as the Chesterfield Canal Trust, was formed.

Carrying Station Street [the A161] over the Chesterfield Canal.

The bridge carries the realigned A161 which used to cross at the tail of the lock on what is now Station Road.

A relatively recent bridge built to carry a new road alignment.
