  • The Sankey Navigation
    SANKEY NAVIGATION THE FIRST LANCASHIRE CANAL BY T. C. BARKER, M.A. Read 16 December 1948 > HEN Arthur Young visited the north of England in w 1771 he went " to Manchester with design not only to view the manufactures of that town but to make it my headquarters from thence to go the tour of his Grace the Duke of Bridgewater's navigation about which such wonders are abroad." 11 ' In the account of his tour in the north Young devoted forty- six pages, complete with maps and diagrams, to a description of these wonders: the twelve sets of " canal doors ", the underground tunnel deep into the hillside at Worsley and the aqueduct over the Irwell at Barton were all greeted with excited enthusiasm. Young's description, Smiles's appealing character sketch of James Brindley 12 ', and the reputation which the Bridge- water Canal gained by its magnificence, have together caused some historians, following Young's example, (3) to concentrate their attention upon the Worsley-to-Manchester Canal at the expense of the Sankey Navigation. Professor Mantoux, for instance, wrote that the Worsley Navigation was "the first real canal in England " (4), a belief which has received further wide publicity from Dr. Trevelyan ^ Arthur Young, A Six Months' Tour Through the North of England (London, 2nd edn., 1821), Vol. Ill, p. 187. 121 S. Smiles, Lives of the Engineers (London 1861), Vol. I, pp. 307-476. 13 'A few days before his visit to Manchester, Young had gone from Warrington to Liverpool on which journey he must have crossed the Sankey Navigation.

    Victoria County History of Cumbria Project: Work in Progress Interim Draft [Note: This is an interim draft and should not be cited without first consulting the VCH Cumbria project: for contact details, see http://www.cumbriacountyhistory.org.uk/] Parish/township: KIRKBY LONSDALE (township) Author: Emmeline Garnett Date of draft: August 2013 LANDOWNERSHIP In medieval times St. Mary’s Abbey, York, held most, possibly as much as three- quarters, of the modern township of Kirkby Lonsdale, of which a small part on the southern boundary, was given, about the year 1200, to Cockersand Abbey. The remaining portion, based on Deansbiggin, was held of the barony of Kendale. After the Reformation, the township was divided between private estates, of which the main ones were Underley to the west of the township, progressively absorbing Deansbiggin and subsequently much of the town, the Lowther estate with no capital messuage, and Biggins to the south. These three estates grew throughout the nineteenth century, but all broke up in the twentieth, Underley alone continuing into the twenty-first, by which time the township was largely the property of small owner-occupiers. Manors. Kirkby Lonsdale Before the Conquest Thorfinnr held Kirkby Lonsdale as one of his twelve manors in Austwick. By 1100 Ivo Talebois held it as Baron of Kendal and gave the church with its land, amounting to perhaps three-quarters of the township, to the monks of St. Mary’s Abbey, York.1 At the dissolution it passed to the Crown and was granted in 1558 to the lawyer Thomas Carus of Halton near Lancaster who became a justice of the Queen’s Bench.2 He was succeeded by his son, another Thomas Carus, who held the manor in chief by one part of a knight’s fee, and 1 Rec.
