Heritage Waterways Past and Present Bookazine - Description
They were Britain's first motorways, and brought about a communications
revolution on a par with the worldwide web. Yet in just over half-a-century,
canals were superseded first by trains and then by motorways as the preferred
route for trade in goods.
After being left to die, they have now found new life
as 'linear leisure parks' for boaters, walkers, cyclists and horse riders. This bookazine, Heritage Waterways, celebrates the history of the canals and
navigations in the British Isles, their special features, their culture, their
people... even the flora and fauna they engender.
Edited by Keith
Langston, Heritage Waterways captures, with some stunning photography, the essence
of Britain's first superhighways.
