Birmingham is famously reputed to have more miles of canals than
Venice. These canals contributed much to the city's growth,
bringing coal and merchandise from the surrounding areas. As the
city prospered economically, it continued to grow and absorb
neighbouring communities, a process in many ways bound together by
the waterways. Although part of the national network, Birmingham's
canals, including the Worcester & Birmingham, the
Stratford-upon-Avon and the Birmingham Canal Navigation, retain
their original identity - and most are still in water and used
regularly, albeit in different ways to their original industrial
purpose. Fully updated and illustrated with stunning new
photographs, this book captures the heritage, development and
modern role of Birmingham's canals in a way that will appeal to
canal users as well as those with a wider interest in Britain's
second most populous city.
