Waterways Past and Present is a unique photographic record of Britain’s magnificent and varied waterways heritage. Through the superb photography of Derek Pratt, this book looks at 40 transitional years when Britain’s inland waterways changed from being a thriving commercial transport system to the varied and beautiful pleasure cruising network it is today. On many pages, superb atmospheric black and white photos from 30 and 40 years ago, are juxtaposed with vibrant colour photos showing the waterways today.

From quintessentially English rivers meandering gently through picturesque countryside, to the great trans-Pennine canals built to connect the industrial areas of the north with their great trading ports, from London’s busy canal network to those of the Black Country, East Anglia, Shakespeare’s Avon, Birmingham, Manchester and the canals of Wales and Scotland – all are captured in this wonderful celebration of Britain’s waterway heritage, whose architectural legacy and natural beauty attracts thousands of visitors to go boating, fishing or simply taking an enjoyable walk along the towpaths.
