Welcome to WOW

Building and Carrying gives an insight into why canals were built, how they were built and who built them. It also takes a look at the boats that worked on them and the cargoes carried. A great introduction to the creation and use of canals.

Downloadable version of our Canals: Building and Carrying poster. A bright and colourful poster that would look great on a classroom wall with key words labelled on the images. Or to order a printed poster email wow@britishwaterways.co.uk
