The clue's in the name

On our way back from visiting our son in Sheffield I noticed a pub called The Lock Keeper. It was on the A57 in Worksop. Hmm... The Lock Keeper? I wonder if it could be by a canal?

I've just looked it up, and, yes, it's on the Chesterfield Canal - a waterway I haven't visited. Next time we'll have to stop and explore a little.

Incidentally, while searching for a link to the pub, I came across David Morris's blog, in which he frequently mentions canals and boating in the Sheffield and Chesterfield areas.

What fun...another canal to visit and explore! I'll take a peek at David Morris's blog, but just that...can't keep up with all the posts on the ones I follow as it is ;-(
