Caldon Canal

The Caldon Canal is widely seen as one of them most interesting waterways in the country. It is very much a canal of contrasts, beginning in the centre of the Potteries but also passing through remote countryside on the summit level and the Churnet Valley.

The Caldon Canal was built between Etruria and Froghall in 1776 at a cost of £23,560 and was intended to carry limestone from the quarries at Cauldon Low to Stoke-on-Trent.

By the 1950s the canal was rarely used for commerce, and there followed a period where the canal was threatened with closure.However in 1968 an agreement was reached between Stafford County Council, Stoke on Trent City Council and British Waterways Board to restore the canal. Thus in 1974 the Caldon Canal was reopened at a cost of £100,000.
