Chesterfield Canal Revival Moves Forward | Sheffield News

Plans are moving forward to revive a nine-mile stretch of the Chesterfield Canal between Staveley and Kiveton Park, with Rotherham Council approving $10,000 to fund a feasibility study. Part of a larger restoration effort by the Chesterfield Canal Partnership, the project includes new walking and cycling paths, a marina at Kiveton Waters, and connections to the Trans Pennine Trail. Historic Norwood Flight of thirteen locks—unique in design—will be restored, while engineers explore solutions for the collapsed section near Norwood Tunnel, including a new M1 tunnel or lock system. A visitor center, cafe, and boat lift are also on the table. The Chesterfield Canal Trust aims to have water flowing in key sections by 2027, marking the canal’s 250th anniversary.
