View From Across The Basin





  • Work on both the Peak Forest Canal and the tramlines from Doveholes was completed in the late 1700's.
  • Once Britain's largest inland port the basin became dis-used in 1927 as a result of the dominance of the railways.
  • Thanks to the efforts of the Inland Waterways Protection Society and financial assistance from local councils and the EEC, the basin was re-opened on 3rd August 1999. Bugsworth Basin is classed as an ancient monument.
