| 1819 'An experiment was made on Thursday last, on the line of the Ashton Canal, near the Soho Foundry, on Mr. Rastrick's (the engineer for the Huddersfield Canal Company) new method of propelling vessels by steam without the aid of paddle wheels, which, we understand, gave universal satisfaction to the Committee assembled for the purpose of witnessing it, and far surpassed the most sanguine expectations of the ingenious contriver. We believe the plan is very simple, and well adapted for dragging boats along tunnels, crossing wide rivers, creeks, &c.— The steam engine, with its necessary apparatus, was made by our townsmen Messrs. Peel & Williams, and the experiment tried under their directions. ''Manchester Chronicle''.' <ref> Leicester Chronicle, 24 December 1819 </ref>
