A little beyond the 450yd-long tunnel at Chirk, the Llangollen Canal is suddenly carried 70 feet in the air over this spectacular stone aqueduct.
The bridge was built over the Bridgewater Canal in 1778, but it has been widened and strengthened many times since.
When the Duke of Bridgewater planned his canal into Manchester in 1760, the original plan was to stay on the Salford side of the Irwell.
Tixall Wide, about half a mile from Great Haywood, is part of the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal and was probably created to enhance the view from Tixall Hall.
Stone proclaims itself to be a 'Canal Town' and reaching it from this river bridge involves crossing the Trent & Mersey Canal.
The new mill was built around 1800 to take advantage of the Grand Union Canal's Wendover Arm or branch canal that opened in 1797.
This trade lasted until 1924, when the whole canal was closed but never infilled.
The Exeter Canal was just over 5 miles long, and trade along it to these quays continued until 1972.
In its heyday, long before this picture was taken, the canal was used to transport goods and products such as coal, iron, stone, agricultural wares and much more besides.
The longest canal tunnel in Scotland is on the Union Canal. It was built because the Forbes family did not want Callendar House to look onto a canal. The tunnel is 630 metres long.
Chasewater was built as a canal feeder in 1800; it was so efficient that its owners, Wyrley and Essington Canal Company, sold surplus water to other companies.
In 1795, the Wisbech Canal was cut along the course of the Well Stream; thus providing communication with Ely, Cambridge and the other local towns, via the network of inland waterways that existed at that
From here the canal maintains a level for over twenty miles until it reaches Tyrley, where a flight of five locks alter the level by 33 ft.At Tyrley the lock keeper's single storey cottage is situated
This short, 2-mile canal was opened in 1773, and is an extension of the River Ure. In this view of the stone-walled canal basin we see the cathedral rising over the roofs, and the old arched bridge.
This is part of the marvellous system which comprised the Grand Junction or Union Canal, linking the Thames with the Midland canal system, and providing a direct waterway link between London and Birmingham

These are Soulbury Three Locks on the Grand Union Canal north of Leighton Buzzard. The lady is using the rope over the gate to take the last forward movement off the butty boat.
This photograph could well be a study in oils, but the church of St Lawrence, standing next to the canal, is said to be large and uninspired.
The lock chambers on this canal had their own individual size: 64ft 9in x 9ft 2ins - a most peculiar gauge. The canal became disused in 1930.
The Monmouthshire Canal ran from Newport to Pontymoile with a branch to Crumlin, which is what we see illustrated. The fourteen locks at Rogerstone were still in use when this view was taken.
The Lancaster Canal was never connected to the main canal system. Its rugged stone bridges and its proximity to the Pennines make it a most picturesque line.
