Derbyshire's Canals, by Bert Clarke

Published by Stenlake in 2020, 56 pages. Rectangular Paperback - 17cm by 24cm (N7846)

Brand New Book

This illustrated history in colour features Derbyshire’s seven canals, cut between 1774 and 1805 to play their part in the early stages of the Industrial Revolution. Five of these canals still exist. The book explains when, where, how and by whom the canals were built and for what purposes. The Trent and Mersey Canal, over 93 miles long, was a massive undertaking spanning three counties. The Peak Forest Canal was the last of the Derbyshire canals and the only one to penetrate quarried. The Chesterfield Canal sought to serve heavy industry and the Derby Canal came about because ‘something must be done’ about the town’s poor transport links and coal shortages. The Erewash and Nutbrook Canals were both extensions of the River Trent.

Please note, their is a small price sticker on the rear side cover.

When we post our books, we take great care in packaging them - first your book will be wrapped in bubblewrap, which protects the book and even keeps out any rain (in the event that it's raining when the postie delivers it!). Then we wrap your book in stiff cardboard, taking care to make sure all the corners are protected, and finally the package is wrapped in thick brown paper.
