As you can imagine this was a bit of an interesting one given it was necessary to team up Lancastrians and Yorkshiremen! To try and deal with this in a balance way they stare at both side of the country. In Lancashire that , for some reason, was not at Liverpool but was at Haskayne. One of the few cuttings through a hill, maybe they wanted the stone.<\/p>\n<p>We went through Halsall\u00a0today and we love the memorial to the men who built the canal . The Navvy , by Thomas Dagnall, is in\u00a0Millstone Grit and is brilliant. Whilst most people believe that the navvies were all Irish this is probably not true, most were local men after a job. It was only later that more Irish men appeared. The work was undertaken by small contractors and few records survive to be absolutely sure.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1351\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1351\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"1351\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/leeds-liverpool-canal-started\/navvy-memorial\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"4272,2856\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"Navvy Memorial\" data-image-description=\"&lt;p&gt;Thompson Dagnall Navvy memorial Halsall Leeds Liverpool canal&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Thompson Dagnall Navvy memorial Halsall Leeds Liverpool canal&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial-300x201.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial-1024x685.jpg\" class=\"size-large wp-image-1351\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial-1024x685.jpg\" alt=\"Thompson Dagnall Navvy memorial Halsall Leeds Liverpool canal\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial-1024x685.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.ladyteal.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/08\/Navvy-Memorial-768x513.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1351\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Thompson Dagnall Navvy memorial Halsall Leeds Liverpool canal<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Longbotham was the canal engineer put in charge of the building of the Leeds Liverpool.
