Chesterfield Canal Restoration Part 4 - A New Aqueduct

In part 4 of our Chesterfield Canal Restoration Series we look at the recent news of the new Doe Lea Aqueduct and visit the site of the missing aqueduct as it is today. We also have a pass through the latest on the Rewatering Renishaw project.

The Chesterfield Canal Trust are planning the restore the missing 9 miles of canal. Hopefully by 2027, which will be the canals 250th birthday. The James Brindley designed Chesterfield Canal was opened in 1777.

Starting at Staveley, the next section to be restored is the Staveley Puddlebank between the current end of the navigation and the proposed aqueduct. At the time of publishing, the deisng of the aqueduct was out to tender, but the artist impression gives an idea on what we can expect.
