"The canal was built to link Chesterfield, Worksop and Retford to the Trent and so gain access to more trade. During the 19th century the canal was a commercial success due to local coal. However, mining caused subsidence in the Norwood Tunnel, severing the top end of the canal.

The Chesterfield Canal runs from the river Trent at West Stockwith to Chesterfield. The Canal is 45.5 miles (73.3 km) long and has 65 locks, but only the section from West Stockwith the eastern end of Norwood Tunnel is currently navigable.

At the isolated western end of the canal, five miles and five locks have been restored." link
