Description
A rare glimpse into Britain's industrial heritage, this book presents a remarkable collection of photographs taken by Robert Longden in the late 1940s and early 1950s. The images capture the intimate lives of those who worked the Midlands canals, showcasing their community and way of life. The photographs, taken from original glass transparencies, reveal a now vanished world where narrow boats played a significant role in transporting goods. This book provides a unique insight into this period, when the waterways were still an essential part of daily life. With informative captions, it offers a fascinating look at Britain's industrial past. A must-have for anyone interested in the history of the canals and their significance in British industry, this book is also appealing to those who appreciate photography and social history.
