Looks like congratulations are in order as the narrow boats can now sail to the new Staveley Canal Basin.

Some great shots here:

I started out with nothing and I've still got most of it left.

What a great job thats been done.  Must go and have a look down there. 

Last time I went it was frankly a dump and dangerous, but look at it now!

Took the dog down there last week for a walk, and of course, he jumped in the canal. It was a good walk, but a little muddy. Will be very nice once, (if), they finish the lock gate and extension. A nice little pub/restaurant would be good too.

As a trustee of Alcholic Support we are going to support this, we are going to start cycle trips from the railway station up to this.  Hire your bike from me.
