Bradshaw`s Canals and Navigable Rivers of England and Wales 1904
Bradshaw`s Canals and Navigable Rivers of England and Wales is a facsimile of the first guide to planning journeys on the inland waterways published in 1904 when the name Bradshaw became synonymous with reliable information on travelling the nation’s blossoming network of railways.Compiled at the time when the railways have largely supplanted the waterways, the guide paints a fascinating portrait of the Edwardian canal system as it began to gently decay. The author, Henry Rondolph de Salis was and engineer and a Director of the Fellows, Morton, & Clayton Canal Carriers and this survey was the fruit of the eleven years he dedicated to examining Britain’s inland waterways.
