Reviews for Bradshaw's Canals and Navigable Rivers of England and Wales (Old House)
'Congratulations to [Old House] on republishing this, which is the most important source book for all canal historians. And at such a low price too - only GBP15 - which is only a fraction of the amount I paid for my copy twenty years ago.'
