Narrow Boat, Paperback

Written by a renowned expert on canals and founder of the Inland Waterways Association, this title guides the reader from the Grand Union Canal to Lichfield and Coventry Canal.

L. T. C. ROLT trained as an engineer, but his fame rests on his classic biographies of Brunel, Telford, Trevithick, and the Stephensons, his superb volumes of autobiography (Landscape with Machines, Landscape with Canals, and Landscape with Figures), his volumes of transport history, and Red for Danger, an account of railway disasters of Britain. He founded the Inland Waterways Association and was instrumental in encouraging interest in Britain's industrial heritage at Tal-y-llyn and elsewhere.
