The Uttoxeter Canal was built as an extension to the Caldon Canal. It was completed in 1811. The canal was short lived, closing in 1849 to enable the building of the Churnet Valley railway line. The railway closed in the early 1900's after the closure of the quarries.
Today not much of the old canal is visible because it was filled in during the construction of the railway. There is talk of restoring the canal.

Nothing much to see anymore besides a length of grasses behind barbed wire as it goes boggy in wet weather.

Vandring

Uttoxeter Canal was not a financial success, and the Trent and Mersey Company made plans to close it.

However, the canal company was taken over by the North Staffordshire Railway, and with the exception of the first lock and the basin at Froghall, which remained in use until about 1930, the canal was closed by the railway company on 15 January 1849.

A large part of it was subsequently filled in, and used for the route of the Churnet Valley railway line.
