Bugsworth Basin. The restoration of this historically important canal basin complex took place over many years and was plagued by problems with leaks in the canal bed before finally being reopened. In this 1981 view work on many of the remaining structures was well advanced although plenty remained to be done before the basin could be rewatered. Compare this picture with a similar view today 572172.

Restoration work has exposed significant numbers of these stone sleepers which clearly indicate the lines of the tramway. The tramway was horse worked until closure in the 1920s.
