The Derby canal, part 1

Welcome to Exploring Derby! This is my first video, the first part of several videos about the long closed Derby canal. Hope you enjoy!

From Aberdeen here, I really enjoyed that. I've seen several video's from around England where they are working to restore the canals in their area. I think it's all a fantastic thing to do. I had only ever saw the Barge long boat homes on TV via kids programs and other British made programs until at age 30 when I lived in Stoke on Trent for a year. They had active canals and I saw some gorgeous barge's there up close and not on TV, lol. I loved the experience and others deserve to have the same joy as I did. Bring the British tradition back. I've visited Derbyshire Stone Museum while I was living in Stoke, beautiful countryside there. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Narrow boats Me Duck, not barges.

I agree, although there is a Droitwich Barge Canal. I presume that barges are generally wide beam boats.

It will never open up sadly
