Stodhart TunnelThe completed length of the tunnel was approximately 101 yards (92.6m) and it accommodated one track only. By 1803, due to an increase in trade, the tramway track was converted from single to double-track operation but the tunnel was never widened. Because of this the owners, the Peak Forest Canal Company, introduced special regulations for the passage of waggons through it. These caused hold-ups and, as a result, waggoners began to ignore them. As a consequence, one of the first recorded railway accidents happened here shortly afterwards. A gang of six loaded waggons were being hauled up the tramway in the direction of Chapel-en-le-Frith when they broke loose from the horse team and rolled back into the tunnel. Here they struck a two-horse team hauling empty waggons in the same direction. Both horses were killed and the nipper (apprentice) in charge was seriously injured. It took several days to clear the tunnel and re-open the tramway. The canal company held an enquiry into the causes of this accident and the nipper was held responsible for causing the accident as he had failed to comply with the correct time interval between waggon gangs going through the tunnel.Bugsworth BasinWork on the restoration of the derelict Bugsworth Basin, a Scheduled Ancient Monument since 1977, commenced in 1968. Volunteers of the Inland Waterways Protection Society (IWPS) helped by the Waterway Recovery Group (WRG) and many locals restored parts of this important site over three decades. The IWPS obtained a 50-year lease in 1992, which allowed them to restore, manage and operate the basin. Funding for the improvements came from British Waterways, the European Regional Development Fund and a Derelict Land Grant from Derbyshire County Council. The basin was reopened to boats at Easter 1999, and a significant increase in the use of the canal occurred. However, this was the first time that powered boats had used the basin, and the dry stone walling with clay puddling deteriorated rapidly. Walls collapsed, there were several near breaches, and a breach resulted in the basin closing again in October 1999. British Waterways restored pedestrian access to the basin by carrying out emergency repairs.[2]Chapel MiltonThe other major feature is Chinley Chapel.[1] The Christian congregation which has continuously occupied this site almost since its foundation (in a barn at nearby Malcoffe) was founded in 1662 at the time of the post-Cromwellian struggle between a Presbyterian or Episcopalian form for the Church of England. The present 'chapel', of considerable simplicity and beauty, was built, against considerable local opposition, in 1711. It flourishes as a centre of Christian (Congregational) worship. It is part of the Congregational Federation, and the current minister is Rev. Edmonde OpenshawMacclesfieldWaters Green was once home to a nationally known horse market which features in the legend of the Wizard of Alderley Edge.Macclesfield railway stationFacilities at the station include ticket sales, a kiosk, waiting room and public toilets. Prior to the relocation and rebuilding of the bus station in 2004, the Macclesfield railway and bus stations were located very close to each other.Information by Wikipedia.com
