When a young English nobleman was thwarted in love he abandoned the court, retired to his estate near Manchester & built a canal to serve his coalmines. The Bridgewater Canal was the sensation of the age & led others to follow the example of the enterprising Duke of Bridgewater. From his starting point in 1760, over the next half-century Britain was covered by a network of waterways that became the lifeblood of the Industrial Revolution. This is the story of 250 years of history on those canals, & of the people who made & used them. This book tells of the great engineers, such as Telford, Brindley & Jessop & of the industrialists, such as Wedgwood & Arkwright who promoted the canals they built. It also tells the story of the anonymous navvies who dug the canals, the men & women who ran the boats & the workers who kept the canals running. Covering the entire history of the canal network (from the glorious early days, through the years of decline caused by rail & then road competition, up to the subsequent revival of the canals as leisure routes), this wonderfully illustrated book is a must-have for all canal enthusiasts. ...
