Description
From the opening of the Bridgewater Canal in 1761, until well into the 19th Century, the canal system in Great Britain grew at a tremendous pace. At it's height, there were over 6,000 miles of navigable rivers and canals covering the length and breadth of the country, supplying the vital link between mines, farms, factories and ports. The story of how this was achieved, of the colorful characters who dusg the canals and operated them, is here depicted in words and pictures, in all its fascinating detail. - from Amzon
