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. ...

- MAP TITLES: the grids shown on our website serve both the civilian & the military 1:50, 000 topographic series. Although the areas covered by maps in both series are identical (apart from some border or coastal sheets), occasionally map titles differ – only one title is shown on the grid, usually the military one. In Galicia, the Basque country & in the Catalan speaking areas the tendency now is to use local place names rather than the often better known Castilian ones. Where possible, both versions are included in our titles. Map titles listed on our website are based on information received by us at the time of publication, but sometimes maps arrive showing a completely different title! As long as the map number is as ordered, the correct map has been supplied.
