Description
The Rochdale Canal: A Story in Colour The Rochdale Canal is one of three commercial waterways across the Pennines, stretching 32 miles from industrial North West to North East. Its route takes walkers, cyclists, houseboat residents and casual sailors through mill towns, beneath dramatic bridges and over spectacular hilly scenery. The canal's revival has brought new life to the towns and villages along its length, with its ninety-one locks presenting a challenge for boaters. This book tells the story of the Rochdale Canal in colour, featuring historians, canals users, lock keepers and those who use the canal in ways its originators never conceived. Through photographs and stories, this book brings to life the people and places that make up the Rochdale Canal's unique character.
