    Froghall Basin, Caldon Canal

    AINA CASE STUDY TOURISM AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT Froghall Basin, Caldon Canal Boats moored in the restored basin at Froghall, marking the start of the old Uttoxeter Canal Restoring an old canal terminus with enthusiastic volunteer support Volunteers from the Caldon & Uttoxeter Canals Trust, the Waterway Recovery Group and the Inland Waterways Association began restoring the Uttoxeter Canal at Froghall in February 2003. The volunteers worked in partnership with British Waterways on an £800,000 rural regeneration project called 'Destination Froghall', based around the attractive landscapes in the heart of the Churnet Valley, to improve opportunities for both visitors and boaters The Caldon Canal terminates at its former junction with the now derelict Uttoxeter Canal, close to much industrial archaeology and steep wooded valleys of scenic value. Dramatic old limekilns have been preserved around the terminus, close to old canal stables and a warehouse, to show where limestone was once transhipped by tramways from the Cauldon limestone quarries to waiting narrowboats and rail wagons on the North Staffordshire Railway (now preserved in close proximity to the canal as the Churnet Valley Railway). The volunteer work resulted in the restoration and reopening of the first lock and basin of the Uttoxeter Canal to provide permanent and floating moorings for visiting boats, footpaths for easy access around the site, seating and appropriate landscape work. Habitat improvements were also carried out including pond creation and marshland work. Construction work respected the historic environment and new stone masonry was used for lock chamber repairs, copings, quoins, cills and retaining walls. The completed scheme includes a fully restored operational lock, new paddles, operating gear and a new timber footbridge.

The opinions expressed in Stepout are not necessarily the official views of the RA, Area or National, but those of the authors concerned Issue 8 Photo – Winter- Marchington Woods Editorial Much to my, and everyone else’s, surprise, there is a lot of snow for the end of March. In fact it was quite exciting walking in my local Country Park where one minute I was walking on bare ground and the next knee, or even waist deep in snow. In fact I saw two six foot drifts and all this within the city limits of Stoke on Trent. Once again it shows that you do not have to go far away to have a good walk. Personally I think we are very lucky in our county as we have almost everything from high moors to gentle lowlands, forests to fields and miles of canals. Something for everybody. However it does not mean that we should be complacent about our walking. In Stoke on Trent there are many different walking clubs and sadly, few, appreciate the problems in keeping our rights of way open and accessible. As last year, this edition is a reflection of the work done behind the scenes both by our Area and Group volunteers. Without them, many of our walks would simply become unwalkable. Full Circle. I wrote an article for this Area magazine in 1994 when I was Area Chairman.
