Description
The Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal Through Time is a fascinating exploration of one of Britain's most intriguing waterways. Completed in 2013, this book delves into the history of the canal, which was originally constructed to transport coal from the local collieries. From its opening in 1797 to its eventual decline and restoration, the canal played a significant role in the region's industrial heritage. The author provides a detailed account of the canal's development, including its connections to the River Irwell and the surrounding landscape. With over 15 miles of waterway to navigate, the book also examines the impact of the canal on the local environment and the people who lived and worked along its length. Today, the Manchester Bolton and Bury Canal is once again thriving, thanks to the efforts of a dedicated society that has been working to restore it since 1987. This book offers a unique glimpse into the history and restoration of this remarkable waterway, making it an essential read for anyone interested in British industrial heritage and the natural world.
