Sheffield & Tinsley Canal 200years

Описание к видео Sheffield & Tinsley Canal 200years

A flotilla of about 20 boats has travelled along the Sheffield & Tinsley canal to mark its 200th anniversary.

The four-mile stretch of canal opened on 22 February 1819, linking Sheffield to the River Don and opening the city up to trade from across the UK and further afield.

The parade began near to the Don Valley Bowl and was led by a brass band playing music from The Full Monty.

The boats arrived later in Sheffield where hundreds of people were waiting.

When the canal first opened 60,000 people turned out as eight boats full of coal travelled from Tinsley to the canal basin.
