As an illustrative history, The Forgotten Canals of Yorkshire: Wakefield to Swinton via Barnsley, is based on a unique collection of photographs collected by the late Alan Hall. They illuminate the Barnsley Canal & the Dearne & Dove Canal not only in their working years but also in their decline & eventual abandonment.
Most of the photographs have not been published before & demonstrate very poignantly the official vandalism that befell the canals fifty years ago. Our industrial heritage was wilfully destroyed & important archaeological features were obliterated in the name of progres.
Take yourself on a nostalgic journey through the pictorial re-creation of the waterways of Yorkshire, as you read The Forgotten Canals of Yorkshire: Wakefield to Swinton via Barnsley.
