Trent and Mersey Canal One of Britain's principal canals, built 1770-77 and sometimes known as the Grand Trunk since it connects Derbyshire, the Potteries and Merseyside, with wide views across the Cheshire plain. The main line of the canal runs from Preston Brook via Northwich, Middlewich, Sandbach, Stoke on Trent, Rugeley and Burton upon Trent, passing to the south of Derby to end at Trent Lock, Long Eaton. From Preston Brook to Kidsgrove the canal forms part of the Cheshire Ring. The Caldon Branch connects Etruria Junction, Stoke with Caldon Quarries, Froghall, running to the south of Leek.
