Description:
This 17½ mile branch runs from Etruria, where it joins the Trent and Mersey main line, to Froghall BasinHistory:
Opened in 1779.The section from Hazelhurst to Froghall became un-navigable in 1961and was fully reoppened for navigation in 1974.Points of Interest:
Before 1841 the Caldon branch had a three lock staircase at Hazelhurst, then the course of the canal was changed so that the main line went under the Leek branch, as it does today, and three new separate locks were built.Waterway Group:
This waterway is part of the Trent and Mersey CanalNavigation Authority:
