This may possibly be of interest to a few people. (I haven't looked
at it myself.)

Locks, Docks and Beyond [Flash]

The history of waterways is a subject of great interest in both the
United States and Britain, and this novel online exhibit on the
Huddersfield Narrow Canal in West Yorkshire does a good job of
exploring the importance of the canal in community life and history.
Originally built in the middle of the 19th century during the
Industrial Revolution, the canal was closed in 1950 and reopened in
2001. Through personal reminiscences, photographs, and illustrations
by local schoolchildren, the exhibit reflects on various facets of the
canal and its value to residents living nearby. Within the exhibit,
visitors can look at a number of "now and then" photographic essays of
towns along the canal (such as the village of Marsden), as well as
hear older residents speak about their own experiences working and
playing along the canal. The site will be of interest in educators and
also to those who are hoping to perhaps create their own local history
Web site. [KMG]
