Reviews
The book is a testament to Ray Shill's hard work and dedication, with attention to detail which is second to none. It can safely be described as the bible of the Trent and Mersey Canal. -- Les Heath * Towpath Talk *
The book is at its strongest when discussing engineering and commerce, and Mr Shill analyses improvements made over time to the canal's lockage, water supply and tunnels in impressive detail. -- Victoria Owens * The Railway and Canal Historical Society *
