Bugsworth Basin - Restoration Overview

Come along by foot and air to Buxworth village in Derbyshire! In this episode we look at the volunteers challenging restoration of the derelict Basin! And the sad demolition of some ancient kilns in the name of progress.
We will walk over the temporary bailey bridge and look into some maps!
With easy to follow map tours and image blends to show relevance to old images. Over the next few videos we will explore the basin, with pictures sent in by fellow history lovers and public domain online finds.

I have great admiration for all the men women and even children who as volunteers over the last few decades have lovingly restored our waterways. I think we all owe them a great debt of gratitude for what they all achieved. I just wish the government could see how important our lovely canal system is to the majority of the people.

A wonderful historical record of Bugsworth for all to see for many years to come, thank you !

[@freespeech3673]

Excellent work

[@TheOneJuggler]

Well done great use of the AI in enhancing the photographs.

[@RoamingRambling]

Thanks for taking the time to comment. Appreciated!
Very much enjoyed telling this story.

[@andyrodgers914]

Thanks, very interesting history. I've worked in Furness Vale since 1998 and when in the office regularly run along the canal from there to Whaley or Bugsworth basins. Fascinating stuff and looking forwards to more info. Keep up the good work!

I am sure from childhood memories, that in the early 90s a mobile crane use to setup here and bungee jumping used to take place over the canal. Does anybody else remember this?

[@andyhibbert842]

very enjoyable, so much was lost in the 60s and 70s, now all we have is a concrete world with no personality.

[@RoamingRambling]

They are getting a bit better at building sympathetically in Manchester nowadays tho (with what's left 😉).

[@mikefoster2565]

Very informative and well put together. It is sadly obvious from your commentary that rebuilding some of the kilns to original working condition would be prohibitively expensive.
