	Buxworth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Buxworth, originally Bugsworth, which seemed to offend 'pious ears' – hence the change – is a village in the Blackbrook valley in the borough of High Peak, Derbyshire on the edge of the Peak District of England's Pennine Range.
		The Peak Forest Canal terminates here at Bugsworth Basin, which was re-opened on the 26 March 2005 having been restored by the Inland Waterways Protection Society, and, once again, the canal now ends at its original terminus.
		By the early 20th century, some residents of Bugsworth began to dislike the name of their village and their cause was championed by the local vicar, Dr J R Towers, and the village school headmaster, Mr W T Prescott.

		The basin complex has been the focus of a restoration project for over 30 years, it opened to boats after the best part of a century a few years ago, only to be closed again because of leakage.
		A few years ago when Bugsworth reopened for a little while we stayed in there for a few days, there was loads of room, in fact we were the only boat there on the last day.
		I don't no yet what BW's plans are for Bugsworth basin when it permanently opens, there is space for a few hundred boats in there so it would be surprising if they did not allow a lot of 14 day moorings in the complex, which is only a 15 minute walk from Whaley Bridge.

		The Peak Forest Canal, although originally aiming for the limestone quarries in Great Rocks Dale just to the south of the village, never reached nearer than Buxworth, seven miles away, where it terminates at Bugsworth Basin.
		The original limestone-carrying purpose of the canal was replaced long ago by the mineral line serving the quarries around Buxton and joining the Manchester-Sheffield line, via a couple of magnificent diverging viaducts over the Black Brook valley at Chapel Milton (between Chapel-en-le-Frith and Chinley).

		The basin will be open on a permanent basis from Easter on-wards, if you have never been there it is well worth the trip, you may be surprised at the scale of the complex, there is even a nice pub overlooking the area.

		The organisers are slightly obsessed with the idea that the basins will rapidly fill up with permanent 'livaboard' moorers as soon as the stop planks are removed.

		Then he turned his attentions to Linda who was trying to come back from the dog walk, but thought it better to pretend that she was not with the boat.
		After some totally ridiculous talk and enquiring if Linda had any "herbal cigarettes" (well that was what she thought he wanted), he did then actually depart down the towpath towards Bugsworth Basins.

		Leaving Bugsworth, on arrival at the swing bridge we had had trouble with on the way, we found a boat on the otherside in a situation similar to our own two days before, namely with the bridge jammed half open.
		I'm afraid we have jumped location to Portland Basin (though we are not really in the basin) at the end of the Ashton Canal.
		Portland Basin appears to me today to be full of boats which have all the appearances of permanent moorers, so we have found a spot just up the Peak Forest before the railway bridge.

		Re-opened at Easter 2005, the restoration of the Bugsworth (Buxworth) Canal Basin marked the culmination since 1968, of massive volunteer commitment to the restoration of an industrial marvel of the late eighteenth century.
		The scale of the restoration is truly enormous, including massive projects such as recovering, with English Heritage approval, huge stone walls which had collapsed into the river and canals, rebuilding from scratch the complex and handsome horse transfer bridge and plugging, by British Waterways, the basin leaks over the last 5 years.
		Taking care not to 'prettify' the canal basin, the restoration now reconnects the Peak Forest Canal to the national canal system, allowing narrowboats to visit what was once one of the nation’s largest inland ports.

	Buxworth result: no change
		In a small corner of Derbyshire, 63 per cent of the electorate of a rural community went to the polls to decide whether they wanted their village of Buxworth to be renamed Bugsworth.
		Bugsworth means "Bugge's Enclosure", and accordingly the community boasts a 16th century hall with that spelling and a celebrated canal basin.
		The name was changed in 1930 after a campaign by a local vicar and the village schoolmaster who, it has been suggested by local historians, did not care for the connotations of the syllable "bug".

		Reply-To: canals@flsheep.org To: canals@flsheep.org Subject: Trip Report: Steaming to Whaley Bridge & Bugsworth Hot on the heels of the big referendum result (the residents of Buxworth voted to keep the name of the village and not to revert to Bugsworth) came the Whaley Bridge waterways weekend and the arrival of Monarch.
		Sadly the top basin by the Navigation proved to be just too far and after thrashing around in the mud for some time it was decided to retreat to the horse bridge opposite the new amenities block and thence to the pub.
		A great weekend so far at Bugsworth, the basin looks good with boats in and the line up of working boats at the top end is particularly impressive.
