This collection of nearly 300 photographs dating from the early 19th C. to the 1960's illustrates commercial traffic on Britain's inland waterways and navigations to the sea. The scenes depict the waterways, some of which survive but only in sections, and the various goods that were carried up and down the length and breadth of the country. Previously published in 1979 in two volumes entitled Britain's Lost Waterways. Extended captions provide fascinating historical detail to accompany the photographs.
