This map showing all the English canals gives a good idea how our ancestral families (and surnames) travelled long distances.   

https://canalrivertrust.org.uk/enjoy-the-waterways/canal-and-river-network

The surname Bradshaw was first found in Lancashire at Bradshaw, a chapelry in the parish and union of Bolton in the hundred of Salford, now part of Greater Manchester. The chapelry dates back to 1246 when it was listed as Bradeshaghe and literally meant "broad wood or copse" derived from the Old English brad + sceaga.

Salford is famous for its Ship Canal.
