We (the Chesterfield Canal Trust) are delighted to be able to share a
bit of history with you: a copy of the 1769 map of the proposed route
of Chesterfield Canal. Building started on the canal in 1771; the map
does however seem pretty close to the actual route.

There's a small version of the map shown on this page:

and a link to download the full 3.4mb version.
