Description
Book SynopsisTrade ReviewI think it’s fair to say that the book contains a treasure trove of inside information... If you love your canal history you will enjoy this fresh account of the BCN. -- Andy Tidy, Waterways World * Waterways World *
Phil Clayton has given his readers an account that is not only a pleasure to read but is also an excellent source of reference...giving credit to those who have so well served the BCN with their hard working support throughout the years. They deserve it and this book is highly recommended. -- Norma O’Keeffe, Boundary Post * Boundary Post *
This is nicely produced, and well-illustrated. It includes a wide range of photographs, many in colour and from the author's own collection; one intriguing view shows a hill of piled up canal ice at Hawne Basin, from the winter of 1963, which damaged trade. Overall, this is a creditable account of a very complex set of waterways with a fascinating history. -- JOSEPH BOUGHEY, Railway & Canal Historical Society. * Railway & Canal Historical Society. *
