Lock No58 on a restored section of the Chesterfield Canal at Retford.
Built in 1777 the Chesterfield Canal known locally as 'Cuckoo Dyke', is widely recognised as one of the most beautiful and varied waterways in England, runing for 46 miles from the River Trent to the middle of Chesterfield, linking the counties of Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.
After the canal was formally closed in 1961 it is thanks to the Chesterfield Canal Society formed in 1976 and since 1997 the Chesterfield Canal Trust that this canal is mostly all navigable and with us today.

A love lock or love padlock is a padlock which sweethearts lock to a bridge, fence, gate, or similar public fixture to symbolize their love. Typically the sweethearts' names or initials are inscribed on the padlock, and its key is thrown away to symbolise unbreakable love. Since the 2000s, love locks have proliferated at an increasing number of locations worldwide. They are often treated by municipal authorities as litter or vandalism, and are costly to remove.
