内容説明
During the latter half of the 18th century, a revolution in transport took place in England - the building of the canals. A whole tradition of life, the narrow boat was not only goods vessel but home to generations of boatpeople, and decorated in a style that became a unique art form; while the wharves, warehouses, lock-keepers' cottages, bridges and aqueducts that serviced these barges now have a mellowed, forgotten splendour.

内容説明
This is an illustrated guide to the canals and waterways of England. This book bears witness to the transformation that took place in the English landscape during the last 50 years of the 18th century, when canals were built from the Pennines to the English Channel. The canals were a way of carrying goods, as well as a tradition of life. The narrow boat was home to generations of navigators, and decorated in a particular style, and the buildings associated with canals - wharves, warehouses, lock-keepers' cottages, locks, bridges and aqueducts - are part of a familiar scene. The neglect of recent years has given way to a new awareness of canals in town and country, as well as the opportunities they offer for pleasure and historical interest.
