	INTRODUCTION
		River or canal navigation was possible only across the marshy areas of the north-west and the Somerset Levels between the Mendips and the Western Hills.
		River navigation was helped by the exceptionally high tidal range of the Severn estuary and the tidal bore which helped to carry boats up the rivers Parrett and Tone.
		The second phase came with the increasing use of coal by the end of the seventeenth century, when river navigation was improved and developed.
