Country Search: 6: The Canalman

on BBC One London

with Susan King
A series of seven programmes

Canals were once the main trade routes across the country. Whole families lived and worked on the 'narrow-boats' which ran along a vast network of waterways. Today goods are sent by road and rail, and the old narrow-boatman's way of life has almost gone for ever.

Susan travels along the canals in Lancashire and Cheshire with boatman Jim Postles, who talks about the past and the future of Britain's canals.
