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.
