Why is this Old Disused Railway being turned into a Canal?

Why is this Old Disused Railway being turned into a Canal?

In this video we take a look at an exciting development involving the abandoned and lost section of the Cromford Canal and a couple of long closed railways and how they have become involved.

The Beggarlee Extension of the Cromford Canal, almost a mile in length going North from the Great Northern Basin. However the original course of the Cromford Canal is gone, severed by the A610 road. So what happens next?

Join me in as i take a look into how the railways will bring life to a canal once again
