In the early years of the Industrial Revolution, canals formed the arteries of Britain. Most waterways were local concerns, carrying cargoes over short distances & fitted into regional groups with their own boat types linked to the major river estuaries. This new history of Britain`s canals starts with the first Roman waterways, moving on to their golden age in the eighteenth & early nineteenth centuries, & ends with the present day, describing the rise & fall of canal building & use in the UK.
