Waterways Culture & Stories

Stories, travelogues and personal accounts of life on Britain's canals and rivers. This collection covers the culture of the inland waterways, from lockkeeper memoirs and liveaboard narratives to canal travelogues and illustrated guides to the network.

Titles include Tales from the Tillerman, Ups and Downs of a Lockkeeper, Barging Round Britain and Floating Home. If you are drawn to the slower pace of canal life, there is plenty of good reading here.
