Chesterfield Canal
The Chesterfield canal goes under two railway lines at this point. To the south (the right in this photograph) they join together. To the north, the nearer one is the Sheffield mainline and the further one is a regional line to Killamarsh and beyond. Work on the Chesterfield canal started in October 1771 and the entire canal (which ran from Chesterfield to the River Trent north of Gainsborough) was officially opened in June 1777. The chief engineer was James Brindley but, unfortunately, he died shortly after construction began and his deputy, John Varley, was asked to take over. Subsequently the building of the canal was not without controversy. In October 1907 the Chesterfield to Norbury section was cut off from the rest of the network when the roof of Norwood Tunnel collapsed and was not reopened. Today, volunteers are working to restore the canal and there is even talk of connecting the Chesterfield to Norbury section to the South Yorkshire Navigation by making the River Rother navigable between Killamarsh and Rotherham.

Three ways of travelling north of Chesterfield
The Chesterfield Canal was built to carry freight by boat. It is crossed here by two railway lines [near to Sheffield, far to Rotherham] which carry passengers and freight. The canal towpath is now used by two long distance walking and cycling routes [Trans Pennine Trail and Cuckoo Way].
