Brian’s talk will cover the history and development of canals in Britain between 1760 and 1820 when over 4000 miles of canals were built, with a focus on the Regent’s Canal; its origins and purpose, the contribution it made to transport in London, its decline and rebirth and show how the canal system is prepared for the 21st century.
