The Researcher’s Hub

If you are the type of person who finds beauty in the curve of a gritstone bridge, the hidden engineering of a canal culvert, or the lost stories of industrial tramways, you are in the right place.

We have organised a wealth of specialised resources, GIS datasets, and archival findings specifically for canal enthusiasts and heritage researchers. Our aim is to make the complex infrastructure of Bugsworth Basin and the wider UK network accessible to everyone.

This project is comprised of various data sources, dedicated to those who enjoy analysing the structural details and historical archives that built our inland waterways.
