Locks and Quays - Matthew Corbett - Ep 2 - Part 1

Originally aired in the Granada TV Region on Thursday 10th January 2008; Matthew Corbett (of Sooty fame) goes on a coast-to-coast journey from the North Sea to the Irish Sea. Today, he discovers how the Aire and Calder Navigation survived the railway revolution and how water power continues to drive an ancient mill. And, having heard why Wakefield was once the region's 'pantry', he sees how Leeds city centre has continually embraced its waterside existence, and how one part of Ellesmere Port offers boaters a chance to relive the past.
