A 1948, 29 seat Bedford O.B. coach used as a Shuttle Bus between Staveley Basin gala and Barrow Hill roundhouse Chesterfield Canal Trust had their annual open weekend at Staveley basin in Derbyshire UK. They are raising money to reopen the link between Chesterfield and the main canal system. Various attractions for all ages were on offer and a good time was had by everyone in the sunshine. The Chesterfield Canal runs for 46 miles from the River Trent to the middle of Chesterfield, linking Nottinghamshire, South Yorkshire and Derbyshire.Since 1989, 12 miles of the canal have been restored along with 36 locks and 11 bridges; 2 new marinas have been built. The latest section was opened early in 2012 with the flooding of the new Staveley Town Basin.There are only eight miles left to restore. Detailed plans already exist for every bridge, lock and aqueduct on this stretch. The Chesterfield Canal Trust is currently running a campaign called Closing the Gap in order to achieve this aim.
