For over two hundred years, the Grand Union Canal and its predecessor have formed an integral part of the transport system of this country, even though the emphasis may have shifted from freight to leisure use. This book tells the story of the canal’s impact upon two small Northamptonshire village, whose destinies were altered for all time by the advent of this masterpiece of Georgian engineering. The personalities, local and national; the organisations and companies that have contributed to the story and the events, sometimes comical and sometimes tragic, covering two centuries, go towards the picture of continuity and change described here.
Hardback. 128 pages with photos and illustrations. Published in 2005 at £9.95
