KLTV recently met with Professor Jodie Matthews from Manchester Metropolitan University at the annual Saltaire Festival. Her stall, 'From the Americas to Yorkshire: Cotton Money and Enslavement', was set up right beside the Leeds and Liverpool Canal.

Jodie has been working with the Saltaire History Club to explore the canal's hidden links to enslavement. The stall used a map of the world, a model canal boat and everyday goods such as coal, cotton and sugar, and asked one question: where did this come from?

"It's a dark history. It's an uncomfortable history. But being here today, I feel energised because people are interested in it."

What do you know about the history of your local canal? Tell us in the comments.
