200 years ago, in 1819, the Lancaster Canal was officially
completed. It represented a new and bright future for all those who
traded between Preston and Kendal. It was to become a vital
navigable artery during Britain's industrial heyday, and also a
very comfortable way for paying passengers to travel throughout
north Lancashire. After many years of sterling service as a working
canal, it is now hugely popular with boaters, walkers, cyclists and
runners. One of only a handful of coastal canals in the country, it
is easily accessible and well maintained, travelling through
beautiful and varied countryside. In the fi rst half of this
excellent book, author Robert Swain outlines the history of the
canal, from its construction (including the internationally
renowned Lune Aqueduct), through its trading days, to its demise
and then rebirth as an invaluable leisure resource. Part two is a
guide to the entire canal today, pointing out and explaining the
hundreds of fascinating features to be seen along its length.
Published to coincide with the 200th anniversary of the opening,
the book is full of interesting facts and beautiful pictures, and
is the perfect companion for anyone who wishes to learn about,
explore and enjoy the Lancaster Canal.
