VI. Read the passage and answer the questions.

In 1761, an artificial waterway opened. It joined a coal-mining area with the port of
Manchester. This was England’s first man-made waterway, or ‘canal’. Soon the price of coal
in this part of the country went down, and the owner of the Bridgewater canal became rich.
In the late 18th century landowners and businessmen built many new canals to make
money. There was no canal plan for the country, but the canals completely changed the
transport of heavy goods in England. Prices of factory goods went down because transport
cost less than before. One horse could now pull 50 tons on a canal boat. Before, it could pull
less than one ton on a road cart. The canal network was a very important part of the Industrial
Revolution in Britain, but canals had only a short life. In the mid 19 th century, the new
railways became the most modern form of transport.
The men who built the canals were called ‘navvies’. They moved around country in
groups from canal to canal. Ordinary people did not like the navvies, because they wore
strange clothes, had no real homes, and because they often drank too much beer.
The Nottingham and Beeston Canal had two parts. It opened in 1796 and was an
important six-mile link in the Trent Navigation - a system of canals and rivers which joined
the Midlands with the River Humber and the port of Hull. This carried goods from inland
factories to the sea. Now it is no longer a working canal. It is a place for people who like
walking or fishing.
