How did the inland waterways of England start in the 18th Century? How did they work, and what did they leave behind for us now to enjoy?

After a career in the Royal Navy and a second career in industry, I did post-graduate research in local history and have gone on from there.
I now speak on a range of topics relating to the Three Rivers Museum, local (Rickmansworth area) history, notably the diaries of a local Rickmansworth farmer, industrial transport before the railways, the impact of the coming of the canal to west Hertfordshire, and more widely the heritage of the waterways.
I can cover west Hertfordshire and south Buckinghamshire.
All my fees go to the Three Rivers Museum of which I'm 'immediate past' chairman.
