- As promised here is our vlog about the beginning of the British canals. We follow the Duke of Bridgewater's plan for a new canal from Worsley to transport his coal to Manchester and thus halving the cost of coal. We then look at its impact.This is our first attempted at a documentary so hope you enjoy it
Don't forget to comment, subscribe and give it the thumbs up if you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching
If you want to find out more about the history of the canals have a look at this excellent video the shows how canals grew and their decline followed by todays boom in leisure boating. Thanks ti Brian Grundy for the link. Its well worth a watch.

Nice one very interesting too thanks
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching.
I really enjoyed this. Not growing up in Britain, I learned very little of the canal system in school. It was mostly mentioned when talking about those trying to create canal systems in the US to mimic the successes of those in UK and Europe, but of course the timing was wrong as the railroads came along. I saw some narrowboats in the canal in Bath when I first visited the UK decades ago, but that was pre google and pre youtube so my curiosity had nowhere to go other than a few books in a bookstore. My friend I was visiting told me that some lived on one year-round and others used them like RV/Caravans for holiday travelling. I remember standing there looking down at several brightly painted boats and thinking to myself "I wonder what that is like?" My friends wife had no desire to trapse along a wet towpath with toddlers (I wonder why? ;-)) so I could get a closer look and maybe chat with someone, so that was my only glimpse.
I found this VLOG very interesting and would not mind more of each system you travel - and some about the people who were visionary risk takers to get them built and those who just tried to ride along on the new next best thing!
I find the canal systems in the UK and Europe extremely fascinating. It wasn't just transportation, but I think they also changed the places the canals travelled thru. Kinda like Railroads did.
Cheerio
Thank you for your lovely comment. Chris and I have travelled a fair bit of the system now. Have a look at our older vlogs. The worsley vlog tell the story of how it all started and grew into the canal system we have today
Oops -- Thanks for taking the time . . .
Your welcome
Great vlog. Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it
Brilliant video as always....love the history...can we have more please.....when I did my City & Guild's building course in 1990, we used sand and lime for our test pieces....when passed, knock it down, clean the bricks and some water and go again....easy....stay safe......
Thank you I will do. Got a vlog on the Anderton lift coming up soon so some more history for you in that one.
@@LifeonboardAmyJo brilliant looking forward to that....
Love it buddy well done
Glad you enjoyed it, good to catch up the other day too.
Fascinating and informative vlog...thanks so much...x
Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching.
Interesting about how Brindley was successful in using canals to transport coal....he was a visionary...I wonder if anyone has explored the old mine working canals....what a feat of engineering that was....
They are currently exploring the Worsley mines but flooding and cave ins is making is slow progress
Hi Steve... thanks for sharing that fasinating bit of history about the canals... most enjoyable.... I'm always gobsmacked at what they achieved with the technology that was available to them at the time... thanks again... keep safe... until the next one....
You and me both! Thanks for watching.
Look good out on the cut keep posting your videos up
Thank you, I will
We live in Leigh, not far from there and found it very interesting, thank you x
We (SHMBO and I) very much enjoyed the history lesson. Thanks from Phoenix, AZ, US. We really enjoy your channel!
Awesome! Thank you! Took me a while to work out what SHMBO was ;-) Thanks for watching.
Hi Steve
Apart from one mention of the Duke of Westminster instead of Bridgewater, very good. You could have mentioned the 'starvationers' boats shown by representation in the water at Delph so called because they resembled coffins.

I had intended to do so but forgot at the time but thanks fir mentioning it
Very good video! I've been to Worsley, but now I have to go back there! Last time I was on the "Afternoon tea cruise" and at the restaurant of Ryan Giggs (Georges). Thanks again for a brilliant vlog! Greetings from Norway!
Thank you and hope you do manage to go back The Delph is really interesting now they have developed it
What a great vlog this is. It's the kind of avenue and vlog-style I'm wishing to delve in to once I'm aflot in a couple of years. Really educational and most importantly it was both engaging and wasn't rushly spoken. Great work.
Thank you so much I'm sure your vlogs will be better than ours. I look forward to seeing them.
A most thorough history of that canal that sparked the Industrial Revolution in England!
Please (for the benefit of non Brits) use a moving pointer or cursor to indicate where and what you talk about on those many maps.
Because, frankly, it is all confusing Greek to this Yank.
A fair comment James, taken onboard. Thanks so much for your comments they really are a big help. Thanks for watching.
