Maps & books

Compiled by Mike Harrison and published by the Club, this new book follows a photographic journey through the BCN at a time when the sights and sounds of this once heavily industrialised area could still be experienced, before the destruction of the many iconic buildings. It has been very well received with excellent reviews in the waterways press such as Waterways World, NarrowBoat, Towpath Talk, Canal Boat, The Blackcountryman, Boundary Post, the BCNS Journal.

"This is an autobiography covering Pat's childhood years living in a lock cottage on the Worcester & Birmingham Canal during the 1920s and 1930s. Her father, John, was a long term lock keeper who endured a string of family tragedies which saw his wife and most of his children die before Pat was three."
