		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.

		However when the Huddersfield Narrow Canal arrived on the scene, it was forced to tunnel the three miles from Marsden to Diggle, creating what is still Britain's longest canal tunnel.
		This is the standard size for the canals of the english midlands and south-east Lancashire, but differs from those of the rest of Yorkshire which were traditionally 62 feet long and 14 feet wide.
		The trip boat is pushed by a battery-electric tug, but canal barges were always 'legged' through, a process that involved specially employed 'leggers' laying across the boat and propelling it by walking their legs along the tunnel side.
