Drakeholes Tunnel (southern entrance)
Old Gainsborough Road, Wiseton DN10 5DF, United Kingdom
Drakeholes Tunnel (southern entrance) is on the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) near to Walsall.
Early plans of what would become the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Leicester Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barbury to Longley prevented closure. Restoration of Northington Cutting was funded by a donation from the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) Society
