	Barnsley Canal (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		The Barnsley Canal was to be built from Barnsley town centre northwards to the Aire and Calder Navigation east of Wakefield, on route it would pass many rich coal fields.
		Although the Barnsley Canal was owned by a completely independent company it was promoted by the Aire and Calder company who wanted to increase their profits by accessing mines which were not in easy reach of their own waterway.
		To the north of the cutting the canal reaches the two reservoirs of Cold Heindley and Wintersett, unfortunately the former has had to have its retaining banks extended and they have obliterated a section of the canal, which the reservoir was built to serve.

		Canals first saw use during the Roman occupation of Great Britain, and were used mainly for irrigation.
		Canal boats proved more than adequate for this task, and so canals were constructed between industries, and between cities and ports, with vast amounts of materials from manufactured goods to coal and lumber being transported.
		However, in the latter half of the 20th century the canals saw a rise in popularity through their use by holidaymakers, who often rented a 'narrowboat' and roamed the canals visiting places they passed through.
