Your right about Clayton le Moors and that fancy bit of sculpture from half way mark. The length of the canal has varied over the years with navigable bits being added and /or 'filled in' and the plaque on Wiki was the original mid point. I read somewhere though that Church was used as a midpoint base when they were building it and the Church itself was important to the workers then too.

T'wud be a shame if there is nothing there to commemorate such a massive engineering project and the lives of the blokes who did it.
