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.

Colliery

Tinkersick Colliery operated until the mid 20th Century, being purchased by the Chesterfield Coal Co. Ltd in 1930 from the Hall Brothers. [3] [4]
