We aim to have a stall at a number of events around the area each year including the popular Etruria Canal Festival. We also give talks and walks from time to time.
Caldon Canal
The Caldon Canal opened in 1776 to carry limestone from the quarries at Cauldon Low to Stoke-on-Trent.
The section from Hazelhurst to Froghall reopened in 1974 after being restored by a partnership including volunteers from the then Caldon Canal Society, Stoke-on-Trent Boat Club and other community groups.
Uttoxeter Canal
The Uttoxeter Canal leaves the Caldon just before its terminus. It fully opened in 1811 and was closed in 1849.
The first lock and basin in Froghall were reopened in 2005, after restoration by a partnership including volunteers from the Caldon & Uttoxeter Canals Trust, Inland Waterways Association and Waterway Recovery Group.

Sunday, 26th October, 2025 - 10:00am to 12:00pm Join us for a 2 hour guided walk to explore the history and canal heritage of the area around Denford. The route of the waterways in this area was changed twice after the Caldon Canal was first built, in 1801 and again in 1841. Come along to discover why, and how the magnificent Hazelhurst Aqueduct was a ‘late addition’, on this 3 mile, leisurely, figure of eight walk between Deep Hayes and Hazelhurst. View detailsWalk |
