  11. Engineeringpublished at 14:09 British Summer Time 17 May 2021

    Liz McIvor tells the story of the early canal builders who struggled with the rugged terrain of England's Pennine hills. Creating a network of canals in this landscape was an uphill challenge - sometimes literally! But connecting the powerhouses of Yorkshire and Lancashire was a great prize at the time of the industrial revolution. What should the engineers do? Should they build over, under or around the hills? Who succeeded, and who struggled?

  12. The Workerspublished at 12:09 British Summer Time 17 May 2021

    This is the story of the men who built our canals - the navigators or navvies. They represented an army of hard physical men who were capable of enduring tough labour for long hours. Many roved the countryside looking for work and a better deal. They gained a reputation as troublesome outsiders, fond of drinking and living a life of ungodly debauchery. But who were they? Unreliable heathens and outcasts or unsung heroes who used might and muscle to build canals and railways?

    We focus on the Manchester Ship Canal - the swansong for the navvies, hailed as the greatest engineering feat of the Victorian age. The navvies worked at a time of rising trade unionism. But could they organise and campaign for a better deal?

    Binky Beaumont, from Gandeys, said it was great to get back to business.

    “Everything is coming together,” he said.

    “We have had artists flying in over the last two to three weeks who are in isolation, they have to have their Covid test, they have to be in isolation for 10 days, then they have to isolate and have daily test and temperature checks before they are allowed to start and join the rest of the cast for rehearsals, because it is such a big cast.”
