Bugsworth Basin Heritage Trust

The Bugsworth Basin Heritage Trust (BBHT), formerly known as the Inland Waterways Protection Society (IWPS), was a British organisation founded in 1958 to work for the restoration of the canal system. Its members carried out surveys of canals and produced reports in support of their retention when much of the canal network was under threat. Following official support for use of the canals for leisure activities in 1967, the Society concentrated their efforts on the restoration and operation of Bugsworth Basin, located at the southern end of the Peak Forest Canal, which was one of the first canals that they surveyed in 1958.

After its official reopening in 2005 the basin was managed by the Bugsworth Basin Heritage Trust (BBHT) until the final piece of restoration was completed and subsequently the management was handed back to the Canal and River Trust. The BBHT was finally wound up in 2025.
