A charming and insightful exploration into the amazing architecture and engineering wonders that surround Britain’s inland waterways
Anthony Burton and Derek Pratt have worked together for many
years – their first joint effort Canal was published in 1976 and
they have collaborated on several other canal books over the years.
However this is the one they have always wanted to produce.
Anthony’s first book on canal history, The Canal Builders, was
first published in 1971 and is still in print, now in its fifth
edition. Since then he has specialised in transport and industrial
history, most recently with a survey of canal building from the
time of the pharaohs to the present day (The Canal Pioneers). He is
an honorary member of the Cotswold Canal Trust.
Derek Pratt is a professional photographer who has specialised in
photographing Britain’s waterways. His books include London’s
Waterways, Waterways Past and Present and Great Waterway
Journeys.
Beautifully photographed.
