A further cache along the cuckoo way
The Chesterfield Canal was a bold and imaginative product of the early years of the Industrial Revolution. The prime purpose was to take Derbyshire's coals to new markets but many other cargoes were carried out by the celebrated engineer James Brindley, and the canal was opened throughout on June 4th 1777. For its time it was a magnificent engineering achievement, including the 2880 yard Norwood Tunnel, and at Thorpe Salvin one of the earliest examples of a large staircase of locks.
The Cuckoo Was is named after the unique vessels which folklore has it were known as "Cuckoos", and where plied the Chesterfield Canal ("The Cuckoo Dyke"), in commercial days. The "Cuckoo" name had its origins in the 18th century when the river boatmen on the Trent used it to describe the canal boats, odd-looking to their eyes, which had suddenly appeared in their midst.
The Cuckoo Way forms a vital east-west link between the Trent Valley Way and the Trans-Penine Trail.
This cache was placed on a lovely sunny evening and the nearby farmers were still working hard at 8pm!
