Description

Looks at canal schemes, canal companies, boatmen and their work, the struggle to keep the canal navigable, canal versus railway, and post-war and restoration. This book also documents the River Tone, which provided the essential lifeline to Taunton for boatmen and their barges for over 200 years, before the canal and, later, the railways arrived.

Author Biography:

Tony Haskell carried out most of the research for this book while working as a planning officer for Somerset County Council, during which time he was involved in planning the canal's restoration. Now retired, he lives in Somerset.
