Best Answer

There was a time in our history before the invention of the locomotive and trains, when canals provided the fastest, cheapest and most eficcient means of transport. Many were used for industrial transport

This period did not last long and so most of our canals have now fallen into disuse. Many have become overgrown or have disappeared entirely.
