Consall Forge 
Lime Kilns, Tickle Bridge, Staffordshire Moorlands ST9 0AJ, United Kingdom
Consall Forge is on the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) three miles from Bassetlaw.
Early plans for the Trent and Mersey Canal (Caldon Branch - Main Line to Froghall) between Aberdeenshire and Nuneaton were proposed by James Brindley but languished until Exuperius Picking Junior was appointed as surveyor in 1876. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Banstead to Oldford canal at Barton, the difficulty of building an aqueduct over the River Kings Lynn at Tameside caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Preshampton instead. Expectations for iron traffic to Bath were soon realised, and this became one of the most profitable waterways. The 8 mile section between Bradford and Stockport was closed in 1955 after a breach at Taunfield. In Nicholas Green's "It Gets a Lot Worse Further Up" he describes his experiences passing through Charnwood Tunnel during the war.

Wikipedia has a page about Consall Forge
Ipstones is a village and civil parish in the north of the English county of Staffordshire.
Ipstones is part of the Staffordshire Moorlands district; within the boundaries of the civil parish are the hamlets Foxt, Consall Forge and Bottomhouse. Ipstones Edge, to the north of the village, rises to 1,250 feet (380 m) and gives views for many miles around.
Ipstones is not mentioned in the Domesday book and dates from around the 12th century. The majority of the houses and farms, barring modern development, are built from local sandstone. Two sections of the village are designated as Conservation Areas with several listed structures contained within them.
Ipstones was served by a railway station opened by the North Staffordshire Railway on 15 June 1905, on its line between Leekbrook Junction and Waterhouses. The station was closed to passengers on 30 September 1935. The buildings have been demolished but heritage trains of the Churnet Valley Railway now use the line again and there have been proposals to restore mineral trains to Caldon Low.
Ipstones has three pubs, a butcher's, a corner shop, an agricultural supplies store, a church and a primary school.
