In this book Dennis Needham takes the reader along the main Welsh canals which were built at the end of the eighteenth century; he traces their history and development, and shows what there is left of them to see today. He writes with compassion and fluency, and has an abundance of Knowledge in the field.

Because of the importance of the canals in our industrial development, this is essential reading for everyone interested in Welsh history; it is also a book for those who wish to walk the banks and see the remains of the once busy waterways.
