Sinossi

`The book is a joy to look at, a "must for waterway enthusiasts.' The Oldie
`The most remarkable series of photographs of canal people that I have ever seen.' Waterwa;ys World

They illustrate kthe close relationship between al ages and types within the community, and the dramatic boat shapes and infrascape of this rural and industrial area.
Sonia Rolt, Who herself worked the canals during the period and Knew the photohraphe, provides and introduction, which details how Robert Longden came to this passionate involvement. It also sets the photographs in the cotext of their time, the last period when the narrow boats could be said to play a serious aprt intransporting goods in quantity. informative captions identify the scenes before us. Providing a rere unsihgt into the community who worked the wateways when it was still a way of life for many, this book will appeal not only to canal enthusiasts, but to anyone interested in Britain's social and industrial Heritage.

L T C Rolt was one of the first narrative historians, an industrial pioneer and preservationist. During his life he was fundamental in establishing and promoting canals, waterways and railways. He was one of the first people in modern Britain to draw attention to the value of our canals as a means of transport and a source of pleasure. As well as his interest in canals he also turned his attention to neglcted railways and set up the first organisation to save and run a railway with a mainly volunteer workforce. A beautiful tribute to the 'golden age' of canals and those who lived and worked on them Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
