Brand new hardback book, by David Blagrove.
This the story of the Grand Union Canal at two Northamptonshire villages, Stoke Bruerne and Blisworth, starting from before the canal was built, through construction and the impact on the villages, the heyday of the canal for commercial traffic, gradual decline and revival for pleasure craft, and how this has led to the villages as they are today.

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 villages, 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.
