Compiles interviews with boat people and the people who worked the inland waterways during the final decades of commercial canal carrying. This book spans the 1930s-'60s, a time when transport technology saw changes, and looks issues such as the operating of ice boats and the use of horse power as well as the experiences of the people themselves.

Over a period of fifty or so years a network of canals and inland waterways connected Britain's major towns and industrial centres. In the grand scheme of things, 200 years is a relatively short period of time. But yet, within this timeframe, an amazing form of transport was developed, grew to a prosperous zenith, went into decline, virtually disappeared and is now being resurrected. Exploring the canals of the Midlands, this book, with maps and detailed walks, will encourage the reader to move from his armchair and into this living piece of history. It also answers some of the many questions asked today about our canal network and includes interviews and memories of those who worked on the canals.
