Revisit the vanished world of our great commercial canals, with their locks, towpaths, old stone bridges, brightly painted horse drawn narrowboats and bustling motorised craft, along with two of the docks of our great ports, their wharves busy with ships from all over the world. Enjoy a journey along our rivers, and enter a world of willows and wooded banks, remote from the modern rush of life; take a colourful trip in the tradition of Jerome K. Jerome up the Thames, with its pleasure craft, brisk steam launches, busy working boats, skiffs and rowing boats, and fashionable regattas.
These beautiful photographs have been carefully chosen from the world famous Francis Frith collection, the archive that is renowned for the fine quality of its images. Finely detailed, they offer a fascinating glimpse of a past era of British canal and river life
