Arguably the first truly man made canal (Bridgewater canal, Castlefield Manchester to Worsley Delph)

In this video I walk along the Bridgewater canal from Castlefield to Worsley.
I discuss the history of the canal and the 3rd duke of Bridgwater.
Along it's route I pass the island of Pomona, travel through Trafford park( Europe's largest industrial estate), I pass old Trafford home to Manchester United, the Trafford centre, barton swing aqueduct ( the world's only swing aqueduct) the remains of the original barton aqueduct then finally visit Worsley village which includes Worsley delph.

tee hee very reluctantly showing Old Trafford there. If that were City, we'd have had 20 Geekyfacts, but no, "Let's crack on!" . Top video sir I am very much enjoying
