BRIDGE OVER CANAL RP1_1572
Chesterfield canal, Norwood. Part of the unnavigable part of the 1777 canal. The canal was 46 mls from Chesterfield to River Trent. Railways made it less commercial in late 19C. Then in 1907 the Norwood tunnel partially collapsed abd cut the canal into two. In recent years all but 9 miles have been restored to navigable use. There are plans for the remainder of the canal.
