The Uttoxeter Canal About this sound pronounced (listen) was a thirteen-mile extension of the Caldon Canal running from Froghall as far as Uttoxeter in Staffordshire England. It was authorised in 1797 but did not open until 1811. With the exception of the first lock and basin at Froghall it closed in 1849 in order that the Churnet Valley Railway could be constructed along its length. The railway has since been dismantled and there are plans to reinstate the canal.
