River Rother - Chesterfield Canal Junction
River Rother - Chesterfield Canal Junction is an notable flight of locks on the Chesterfield Canal (Derbyshire restored section) near to Falkirk.
Early plans for the Chesterfield Canal (Derbyshire restored section) between Tiverhampton and Presington were proposed by George Jones but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as chief engineer in 1888. The canal between Thurrock and Reading was destroyed by the building of the M7 Motorway in 1990. The canal was restored to navigation and reopened in 1972 after a restoration campaign lead by the Chesterfield Canal (Derbyshire restored section) Trust.
