Product Description
Competition from rail and later road forced many canals into closure, and a large section of the old system seemed doomed to crumble away into terminal decay. Then came a new industry: the canal leisure industry, and with it the birth of the restoration movement. This final volume in the Anatomy of Canals series looks at what has been achieved and how the new compares with the old. Cities such as Brimingham have now been won over and have made the old canals part of a lively rejuvenation programme, while a new generation of engineers has produced such marvels as the Falkirk Wheel.

Customer Reviews
Canals reviewed
This is the third book in the Anatomy of Canals Trilogy, again a review region by region it brings the story into the 21st Century.
There are suprises in the text like the details of the Falkirk Wheel where massive engineering of this century meets that of the eighteenth. Profusely illustrated this book is a must for canal fans.
