There is little at Froghall
except the impressive copper factory of Thomas
Bolton & Sons who, from a previous plant three
miles upstream on the River Churnet at Oakamoor,
made the 20,000 miles of copper wire necessary to
produce the core of the first trans-Atlantic
telephone cable.
Today, the canal basis at Froghall wharf gives the
visitor the opportunity to experience the beauty
of the area from a different perspective. Canal
boat trips are run from the wharf, including some
evening meal trips (see Attractions for details).
