	Canals of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The canals were key to the pace of the indistrial revolution: roads at the time were unsuitable for large volumes of traffic.
		Early canals "countoured" round hills and valleys, later ones went straigther, as locks took them up and down hills, and the more modern canals strode across valleys on taller and longer aqueducts and through hills in longer and deeper tunnels.
		It was not long before enthusiastic volunteers were repairing unnavigable but officially-open canals and moving on to restore officially-closed ones and demonstrating their renewed viability to the authotities.
