Waterways: Images From An Industrial Age

This is a collection of archive photos of the English canal system at the start of the 20th century, and a clear visual record of the working lives of the people who worked on the system at the end of the Victorian era. Drawn mostly from the archives of the British Waterways Board, most of these photos have never before been published.
