Fred, is always interesting to watch.

 

Though some dedicated canal historians might take issue with Fred calling James Brindley a mining engineer who built the Worsley Canal tunnels. There are those that give the initial credit of the Worsely canal tunnels to John Gilbert, agent to the Duke of Bridgewater.

 

Brindley began as millwright and then became a surveyor and engineer in the days when the distinction between trades was blurred.
