Join me in Derbyshire as we follow the beautiful chesterfield canal as the restoration continues in the west, aiming to plug the gap and join the rest of the restored Chesterfield Canal as it winds its way down to the River Trent.
Today we are at Staveley looking at the basin, lock and bridge and follow down through on the Staveley town deal. Under the massive road bridges and away from the old open cast line which now holds the basin. Here several railways crossed the canal which are now abandoned and the planned HS2 depot was to cross. Now the trans pennine trail needs to cross the canal at a new footbridge that takes the cycle way across the canal. We see the spade in the ground for the project as Dr Hardy starts the project which should see a bridge this year. Then the canal follows down onto puddlebanks.
We then take a look down the Renishaw section to see the Rewatering Renishaw plans and then onto the Brindley Loops where we end the video.

The wooded area will be nice with the canal running through. It’s great to see the land reclaimed for nature and leisure use after the railway lines were no longer needed. Great vlog thanks so much
Yes it will, it’ll be nice as well as it’ll make some really nice circular walks from Staveley to Renishaw
I lived in Chesterfield from 92 to 99 opposite the old football ground onSaltergate. I regularly used to ride through town and get on the canal towpath and ride down to Staveley. The canal had only been restored down to the bridge that was behind Morrisons. I would continue my bike ride through to the Rother Valley Country Park. From there it was a very uncomfortable walk through a 6 foot high jungle of weeds to the road. Across the road then across to a footbridge across the railway. Then down a path to the embankment of the old Great Central Railway trackbed. It was a straight ride from there to the Country Park. So this video is amazing showing the progress they have made over the years. In the 60s when I was a kid we would regularly fish the canal near Worksop. There was a story of some workmen doing some maintenance on the canal and finding a chain. They pulled the chain out of the canal only to find that it was a plug and they drained a section completely empty. Peter Robinson (born and raised in Hodthorpe near Whitwell). Now living in Northampton for the last 25 years
@@peterrobinson903 oh really? I’m going to do some videos of that side soon, I’ll see if I can find more on the plug! There’s one on the Rochdale canal I think, I’m sure Martin Zero did a video on it
@@CourtAboveTheCut I think it happened way back in the 60s
Bellhouse basin that you walked past still has the 3 wooden boats buried one being a cuckoo boat that’s unique to the canal. I do believe the basin it’s going to be restored.
@@martinglover7153 oh that’s great news! I’ll do some research for the next video. Thank you for letting me know
thanks for that update
@@michaelmiller641 thanks for watching!
My late father was originally from Clay Cross so we visited the area regularly through the 1960s & 70s.
Nearest canal to me now is the Lancaster, as I live in West Cumbria (born in Cumbria, spent childhood in Leicester before coming back home to Cumbria, then time in London in the late 80s - early 90s before heading home again).
@@GARDENER42 I bet it’s changed loads
The phase 2a may have been cut but there are plenty saying that it needs built aspa, hoping so that canal and rail still work together
@@Selocmr it has to happen, they will have up to the aqueduct done very soon then the Renishaw is next in line. Whether it runs on the same plan as before is another question but it’ll happen in some way
i did hear somewhere that the plans were to reinstall the great central line which would mean the end of the tpt route to rother valley park
Great work and camera work for u and the wobbly runner both smash it at this game
Thank you, yeah I love his channel!
Thank's for a very interesting update . Looks like there's plenty going-on in this impressive project. The clearance of foliage and re-lining should bring about a dramatic change in a relatively short period of time. But, I guess if HS2 had gone ahead, it would have posed considerable headaches - and cost implications.
@@malcolmrichardson3881 it held the project up for years, the cancellation want even the end, it took a while for the land to be cleared after
@@CourtAboveTheCut
I went to a talk by the canal society not long after the original HS2 route was announced. If i remember correctly, the HS2 planners hadn't made any reference to the canal whatsoever, but the route cut through it in something like eight places. Given the legislation passed that effectively gave HS2 carte blanche to do what they wanted this (at that time) meant the end of the canal restoration (and destruction of many already restored sections). They also had huge amounts of grants already secured but the HS2 issue meant that the canal trust could no longer guarantee the long term future of the project (an essential requirement for lottery grants etc.) This meant they had to give the money back!
This whole HS2 joke has cost the canal years and years in lost time and most importantly PROGRESS and millions in lost money!
@@sallac8243 I didn’t know they had to give money back! Surely the government needs to be held accountable for this and give the money back?
@@CourtAboveTheCut
I can only say what we were told at the time - as I said I'm going from an old memory but I'm 110% certain that's what was said at the time.
As regards the government being held responsible, I completely agree but really don't see that happening in my lifetime.
Looks absolutely amazing and another excellent and informative video as usual!
@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 thank you, I couldn’t make them without all the hard work from the volunteers
@@CourtAboveTheCut pretty darn good all the same.
@@thoughtsonnarrowboatingwit3882 thank you 😊
When the canal is re linked and working again, what extra trip mileage connections will it provide?
@@philtucker1224 46 miles in total, I think it’s an extra 18 miles
Great plan work as usual. As usual I would like to study the detail and annotations so would appreciate more time given to the plan illustration 'frames'.
@@tomcarr1358 hmm the issue is I leave them on longer and I lose retention, would posting them when I can as a community post help?
press pause.
@@dinsdalepiranah1189 I get this comment regularly but I can’t just leave these images on for 30 seconds as people will switch off, pausing is of course the answer but if I can try to post them to make things easier for people then I’m happy to do so
Transpennine Tram? What is that? I've looked it up can't find anything?
@@dominiccottrill2387 tram? It’s the transpennine trail. Which bit are you referring to?
@@CourtAboveTheCut I must have miss heard...🤦♂
Wonder what will happen if Labour reinstates the HS2 to Leeds? Starmer hates it, but he could be in a minority of 1
@@dominiccottrill2387 hopefully he will, this was only a maintenance depot so would easily be moved, if not then the railway will still go in the same place but the emphasis would be on HS2 to bridge over an open canal rather than the Chesterfield canal trust waiting for the work to happen on HS2 so they can get through the section
Renishaw…..will it ever get done….thorn in the trusts side
@@michaelhibbert4393 yes it will, once the puddlebanks and Staveley are done then it’s the next step needed, I know there’s things going on behind the scenes but they will get sorted
@@CourtAboveTheCutpersonally speaking I think the Trust should concentrate building the canal through the Puddlebank towards Renishaw…..get the Aqueduct sorted which will be a major money and build project.
If Renishaw does get put back in water it will be a major problem keeping it in water….either by syphon or pump, but first they have to get over the consultant/design problem….costs etc
@@michaelhibbert4393 the puddlebanks are paid for up until the corner just before the aqueduct and the material is already donated by a local firm. Once the bridge is up the puddlebanks are being done then they will work back to Staveley and rebuild the line. That adds about half a mile in water I think and then fundraising will start for the aqueduct. They have a lock to build as well which I think is largely paid for with the recent Keith Ayling fundraiser. That’s due to be built early next year. That fundraiser showed how quickly the trust can raise money, it’ll need a fair bit more for the aqueduct, I don’t know exact figures but a couple of mill I’d imagine
You sound is too loud, it is very distorted. Turn you mic volume down a tad man.
@@IO-zz2xy I’m actually trying to improve sound and have been trialling different mics, it has definitely been my biggest learning curve since starting the channel! In your opinion is it the level is too high as I’m recording or after in the edit? Sound is set to -1 on edit, I know some work to -6. This video was recorded on a rode go 2, I’ve recently started using a Dji pocket 3 with the DJI mic which I prefer but I’ve filmed 2 not released videos so far
@@CourtAboveTheCut Not a critical problem man, i am sure you will figure it out. Your updates and tours are fantastic. Thank you for sharing and taking us along.
Regards from South Africa
@@IO-zz2xy I appreciate the feedback, constructive feedback is always welcome!
your audio is overdriving somewhere. Very scratchy on the lower end.
@@Gizepi audio has always been my weak point, it’s miles better than the early days but I’m still learning, what am I listening out for? I’ll try and improve it for future videos
@@CourtAboveTheCut I'll put a couple of your soundtracks through an analyser and see if I can pin it down for you.
Couldn't follow that first five minutes at all, had no idea where in the area being shown you were talking about, and the rapid-fire cut-shots only made the confusion worse.
@@MikeyDunn I started at the lock, I showed drone footage over the lock showing the bridge, I then moved under the bridge and showed drone footage taking you from where I was to where I went. I then followed the path up the side of the canal on the railway which is where I told you in the commentary I was going…. I told you every step of the way where I was.
I am amazed you can move around and not trip over all those mispronounced words, where you say "Froo", you should actually say "Through", so the (TH)s are missing and when pronouncing the letter "H" from HS2, it is said as "AITCH", There is no ' HUH' as you lazily but wrongly say it.
@@franktuckwell196 I have a speech impediment but of course you are perfect in every single way so you wouldn’t understand that, I’m also sure if you met me you’d have he guts to say it to my face, move onto another page keyboard warrior
Such a shame you would make a comment like this. People might make lots of judgements about you on hearing your accent but a properly brought up person would keep them to themself
@@db8444 he’s not the first keyboard coward and he won’t be the last, I sound like a muppet at times and it’s something I’ve worked hard on sorting. Fools don’t bother me though, there’s only a handful of peoples whose opinions on such matters bother me and none of them are called frank. I’m fat, grey and I can’t talk properly, trust me I’ve heard worse 😂😂
