Mill Green Canal
Following the restoration to full navigation of the Chesterfield Canal between Chesterfield and Mill Green, Staveley in 2002, the Canal Trust wanted to advance the project a further 100 m through the derelict former canal line.
After the closure of the Canal, it fell into disrepair and the canal bed was in filled using industrially contaminated waste. Additionally Japanese knot weed was found present in the spoil. The Chesterfield Canal Trust had invested a large sum of its own funds into the project over the years and needed some extra financial help to complete the last part of this stage of the canal restoration. As a result, Wren contributed £23,061.61 towards the excavation of canal bed in fill, transportation to landfill and burial.
