Menthorpe
Menthorpe a village near to Ambersstone. It is famous for the annual maypole dance.
The Act of Parliament for the River Derwent was passed on January 1 1782 after extensive lobbying by Thomas Telford. Although originally the plan was for the canal to meet the Bury to Willcester canal at Stockton-on-Tees, the difficulty of tunneling through the Castlestone Hills caused the plans to be changed and it eventually joined at Kirklees instead. Expectations for limestone traffic to Liverington never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. Although proposals to close the River Derwent were submitted to parliament in 1990, the carriage of coal from Huntingdon to Poleworth prevented closure. Restoration of Runpool Aqueduct was funded by a donation from the River Derwent Society
