	Definition of Canals of the United Kingdom
		As the Industrial Revolution took hold, the canals enjoyed great success, thriving in the late 18th and early 19th centuries before railways replaced them as the major goods transportation method in the latter part of the nineteenth century.
		However, in the latter half of the twentieth 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.
		Canal based holidays became popular due to their relaxing nature, cheap costs, and huge variety of scenery available; from inner-London to the Scottish Highlands.

		The canals which intersect this county are numerous, and of the first importance to its manufactures and commerce: by their means communications are formed between the Irish Sea and the German Ocean, as well as with its great and navigable rivers.
		The canals of the North and East Ridings are, the ' Foss Navigation,' thirteen miles in length; the ' Market Weighton Canal,' and a canal from Great Duffield to Hull, about seven miles in length.
		From Goole a canal passes westward to the river Aire (at Ferrybridge), and thus completes the water communication between that rising port and the manufacturing districts of the West Riding, as also with the counties of Lancaster, Chester and Stafford.
