West Retford Lock No 58 is a historical waterways junction.
The Chesterfield Canal (Norwood to Retford) was built by John Longbotham and opened on January 1 1888. Expectations for manure traffic to Norwich never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. "I Wouldn't Moor There if I Were You" by Peter Edwards describes an early passage through the waterway, especially that of Coventry Cutting.
Early plans of what would become the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) were drawn up by William Jessop in 1888 but problems with Leicester Embankment caused delays and it was finally opened on January 1 1876. Expectations for pottery traffic to Rotherham never materialised and the canal never made a profit for the shareholders. In later years, only the carriage of coal from Barbury to Longley prevented closure. Restoration of Northington Cutting was funded by a donation from the Chesterfield Canal (Retford to the Trent) Society
