Focusing on Manchester, this book shows that canals were at the heart of the self-styled Cottonopolis. Not only did canals move the key commodities of Manchester''s industrial revolution -coal, corn, and cotton - but canal banks also provided the key sites for the factories that made Manchester the ''shock city'' of the early Victorian age.
