In the pioneering age of canals, the new waterways removed transport constaints from the infant industrial revolution and brought national fame and glory to James Brindley.

Over the intervening centuries, misinterpretations and fables surrounding Brindley have become 'facts' and our picture of him has become distorted.  Yet original documents reveal the true Brindley - a man of integrity.  In this book, Christine Richardson places his real story alongside that of the development of England's early inland waterway network.

136 pages, paperback.
