Milepost 22

Milepost 22 is situated near to Alton Tunnel beside the former Churnet Valley railway, and is one of the six reinstated as part of the CVLLP project. It has been situated the correct distance from adjacent posts either side, but nothing of the canal remains in this exact location. The canal can be seen to the north of the railway,  short walk from the milepost in the direction of Uttoxeter.

The post was reinstated by CUCT volunteers in June 2016. A plinth was added in November 2019, with the plaque to be fitted later.

Milepost 21

This post stands between the former Churnet Valley railway line and the canal, which is in water in this area, and is one of the six reinstated as part of the CVLLP project. We believe it to be in approximately the original position, but is further back from the water than it would originally have been, and would have faced in the opposite direction.

The post was reinstated by CUCT volunteers in June 2016. A plinth was added in November 2019, with the plaque to be fitted later.

Destination Froghall

Milepost 18

This milepost is one of the six recast as part of the HLF-funded Churnet Valley Living Landscape Partnership project. However, as the location of the post is on private land with no public access since the canal closed in January 1849 it was agreed that the Trust would hold the post in store until such time as the location is publicly accessible once more.

Milepost 20

This milepost is situated in Oakamoor, and was one of the six reinstated as part of the CVLLP project. We believe it to be in approximately the original position, but would have faced in the opposite direction as the canal was situated to the east of the post.

The post was reinstated by CUCT volunteers in June 2016. A plinth was added in November 2019, with the plaque to be fitted later.
