Glad you found the tow rope “scars” interesting, just imagine how many multiple decades it took for the rope to rub into the cast iron to create just one. That excess water flowing under that wooden footpath into the canal between Reginald Mitchell way and Harecastle is overspill from the old flooded Victorian coal mines. Just over that embankment is Goldendale pool where the pump house was sited to supply cooling water to the Goldendale iron foundry where the landmark statue now resides. The “quarry” as you put it used to be where the sewerage works was, now owned by Land Recovery and used for storage, there used to be several massive brick circular structures probably at least 30 feet in diameter with a central pipe and two arms that turned slowly and sprayed water into the vessel which had gravel in it, I assume this was the final clean up stage of the water and those two big overhead pipes with the fan shaped guards supplied the water. The mini “Niagara falls” is to control the canal level and is a spillway, the level can be raised or lowered accordingly. I think the water runs off into the Fowlea brook / river Trent but not 100% sure. The canal in the area is naturally that ochre/orange colour due to the high iron content of the local marl used by James Brindley in the mid 1700’s to line the canal during construction. Thanks for the memories Daryl, thoroughly enjoyed your video 👍❤️

Harecastle tunnel is brilliant just make sure you wrap up warm as the fans in there blow and it's freezing. But it does that cause of the fuel from the canal boats. That little house is where canal and river trust is and if you get stuck in the tunnel by canal boat you have blast your horn 3 times. I only know cause I have been through it. 2023 I went through it. In October it was brilliant the Halloween theme and the history
