The Duke started off at the bank |
|
| I need to borrow some money to build a canal? | |
|
| Well yes but it will be quite a lot. | |
|

|
He went to hire the best engineer and traveled for miles. He found James Bridley an expert. |
|
| Your hired! I need you to build me a canal 7 miles long and the barges are to be pulled by horses also I want it to be on the river Irwell. Got it? | |
|
| How am I going to build a canal? | |
|
|
|
|
It was opened in 1761 and was a great success the Duke traveled twice as fast for half the price and other people now wanted a canal! |
|
| Oh my! I have to make a canal for Mr Mennings and one for Lady Claudine. It canal mania! | |
|
| Yes well you have to make one for Sir Shahur and Mr Monto oh yes and for Miss Lulam. | |
