Grappenhall, The Canal c.1960

More about this scene
Winding around the village is the Bridgewater Canal. Cut between 1759 and 1765, it was the first canal built in England and, along with the Industrial Revolution, which was then also taking place, it was to change the world. In this area the canal was used for the transportation of fustian, a form of rough cotton known as 'poor man's velvet' that was produced locally.
