| Bridgewater Canal | The Bridgewater Canal was the forerunner of all man-made canals in that it was the first canal that was dug out on an entirely new course, (i.e. Not following an existing river or water course), and it was constructed in the late 18th century. The Duke of Bridgewater financed the whole enterprise, as he foresaw the benefits that he would gain from having a transport system that would enable him to move huge tonnages of coal from his coal mines at Worsley up to Manchester. The Duke engaged James Brindley to engineer his canal, and he designed the route of the canal to follow contours and to be lock-free. The only complication to his route was the need to devise a method by which his canal could cross the valley of the River Irwell - and for this Brindley designed a stone aqueduct, one of the first on the whole canal system. The Bridgewater Canal continued to be used for the transportation of heavy goods right up until the 1970s.
