Abstract

This book portrays the broad spectrum of the canal scene of today through superb photographs and evocative descriptive text. It looks at canals from the earliest contour-hugging routes of Brindley to the later more direct waterways employing new methods and styles. The authors show how yesterday's industrial buildings become today's structures of beauty, and how waterways built for commerce fit so easily into the landscape.
