Review Quotes: "While Waterways and Canal Building in Medieval England is a book for specialists in the history of our countryâs waterways, there is also much to find of interest for the general reader... There has been much research into this fascinating subject over the past 20 years, and this is most likely continuing." -- Elizabeth Rogers, Tow Path Talk
