National Waterways Museum
Home to the UK's largest collection of inland waterway craft.
Working forge, power hall, pumphouse and exhibitions of industrial heritage.
A fascinating history brought to life.......... so who worked on the waterways?
People from all different backgrounds, rich and poor. The rich as investors and the brains behind the development of the canals..... and the working classes with their hard labour as navvies and boatmen.
Its a fascinating story. Discover how fortunes were made and lost. How people found fame. Learn too about the businesses that were created and how they affected the life of future generations.
Climb aboard historic craft - the development of the waterways was to the 18th century what the motorway network is to our generation.
