  Baybridge Canal - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The canal was built entirely within the parish of West Grinstead in the English county of Sussex.

The canal's main trade was manure, coal and chalk.

 Canals of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.

 LONELIEST ROAD: US-50
Before the four-mile-long Bay Bridge was completed in the early 1950s, Maryland’s Eastern Shore was physically and spiritually an island, protected by the broad Chesapeake Bay from the sprawling modern cities of Washington and Baltimore, and cut off at its neck by the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
Despite the completion of a parallel span in the 1970s, the bridge gets clogged solid each summer by vehicles headed for coastal resorts like Rehoboth Beach (“The Beltway by the Bay”) and Ocean City.
At the eastern end, US-50 is joined by US-301, and together the two roads race along as a six-lane freeway as far as Queenstown, a busy port in the early 1800s but now little more than an upscale suburb of the greater Baltimore/Washington urban area.
