摘要

James Brindley is widely recognised as a pioneer of the British canal system. His last project was the proposal to provide a waterway from Chesterfield to the River Trent from where the local iron, coal and lead could be transported to their principal markets in London. By 1769 a route had been surveyed charting a course which indicated a move away from the earlier "contour following canals" to the much more ambitious routes taken by later British canals. This included the longest canal tunnel in Britain and extensive use of multi-flight locks. In 1907, the tunnel collapsed due to mining subsidence, never to be reopened. The inland section fell into disrepair and was in-filled in places. This paper reports the efforts of volunteer bodies to reopen the canal, including a proposed ambitious engineering task to by-pass the collapsed tunnel. With funding streams identified, an announcement about a new high-speed rail line which will impact on the canal has brought funding streams to a halt. This paper will also highlight how the opportunity to restore to use, one of the most important heritage projects in the U.K., may have been lost but will also show how history shows that rail developments need not bring us to the end of the line.
