British Canals

The first edition of British Canals was published in 1950 and was much admired as a pioneering work in transport history. Joseph Boughey, with the advice of Charles Hadfield, has previously revised and updated the perennially popular material to reflect more recent changes, and continues to do so in this updated (2022) edition of the seminal work.

Whether your interests are professional, academic or enthusiast, British Canals provides an essential companion to all who want to discover more about the rich history of our inland waterways.
