Tinkersick or Tinker Sick is a stream east of Chesterfield, near Brimington in Derbyshire.[1] The stream is an offshoot of the Chesterfield Canal.[2]
A breach in the Chesterfield canal in March 2007, caused by the collapse of a culvert carrying the Tinkersick under the canal, forced temporary closure of all but the top pound above Tapton Lock for about six weeks.[3]
Colliery
[edit]Tinkersick Colliery operated until the mid 20th Century, being purchased by the Chesterfield Coal Co. Ltd in 1930 from the Hall Brothers.[4][5]
