Thread Name: Canal songs (UK)
Subject: RE: Canal songs (UK)
Is anyone aware of the half written song to the honour of Delesseps Bronte written when he was undertaking the building of the Bodkin 42 rise locks as part of the scheme to join up the Leeds & Liverpool to the Rochdale Narrow canal. The scheme envisaged leaving the L&L near Keighley, going up the Worth Valley and over the top to reach the R N near Summit(just outside Littleborough).
