Product Description
Synopsis
Over a few years in the late 1940s and early 1950s, Robert Longden took a series of photographs of the narrow boat community at Hawkesbury Stop, the main meeting point for those who worked the Midlands canals. The images presented in this book are of a close community and represent its members in a very intimate way - at work, at play, in their domestic affairs, and as they lived on the paired and single colourful narrow boats. They illustrate the close relationship between all ages and types within the community, and the dramatic boat shapes and infrscape of this rural and industrial area. Sonia Rolt, who herself worked the canals during the period and knew the photographer, provides an introduction, which details how Robert Longden came to this passionate involvement. The introduction also sets the photographs in the context of their time, the last period when the narrow boats could be said to play a serious part in transporting goods in quantity.
