Description: | The Bridgwater canal was built to transport coal between the Duke of Bridgwater's mines at Worsley and Manchester. Warehouses along canal routes could exploit the waterways, which were cheapest, and often quickest, form of transport between towns before the introduction of trains and improvements to roads that took place over the 19th century. | Subjects: | Waterscape Hipped Roof Canal Warehouse Warehouse Renovation | Source: | English Heritage - Viewfinder | Creator: | Perry, T | Identifier: | http://viewfinder.english-heritage.org.u... | Language: | en | Go to resource |
