Middle Bridge on the Chesterfield Canal The Chesterfield Canal officially opened in 1777. It offered a more convenient and reliable outlet to the River Trent for the lead, coal and iron of north Derbyshire and South Yorkshire than did the River Idle. It originally extended 46 miles from the River Trent through Misterton, Worksop and Retford before arriving at its terminus in Chesterfield. Its own active career though was short-lived and in 1846, the canal company formed their own railway company and joined forces with the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway and left the canal to look after itself. The last recorded commercial cargo was in the 1960s. In 1976 the Chesterfield Canal Society, now known as the Chesterfield Canal Trust, was formed.
