Canals and Waterways

Personalised!

This evocative collection of archive photographs from The Francis Frith Collection depicts the rich life of Britain's canals and waterways from mid-Victorian times up to the 1960s, when many fell into disrepair and dereliction. Travel back in time through the pages of this book and revisit a world that was removed from the rush and bustle of modern life, with its unique architecture and varied commercial and pleasure craft. Read, too, about the daily lives of the families who earned their living on the water. This special collection will provide hours of enjoyable and informative reading about life and work on Britain's canals and waterways of the past.

" I ordered a book with a personalised touch (from my youngest kids to their grandma). Having the option to personalise is one of the reasons I bought it. It was promptly delivered, no fuss, no delays. An absolutely beautiful pictorial historical account of my Mum's home town, which I am sure she will be delighted with.

Thank you very much Francis Frith."
