When discussing this, the earliest modern canal in England,
 built over 100 years before the Bridgwater Canal,
there are some very important things to ask.

What navigation was used before the canal?

Why was the Stamford Canal needed?

Who commissioned and paid for it?

When was it built and by whom?

Goods carried, in what and how long did it take?

Hopefully most of these questions will be answered,
but if there are more queries, then please get in touch.
