Synopsis:
David Blagrove was a working boatman carrying coal, timber, and a cargo of hardboard and cocoa residue at the time when the canals were immobilized by the "great freeze" of 1962-1963. This text chronicles the last years of narrow-boat carrying. It is is a detailed account of a past era, inhabited by the last generation of canal boating families. It records the problems the boating community suffered in the early 1960s and their helplessness in the face of un-moving bureaucracy, and insuperable weather conditions. The book also records the methods of working the boats. This new edition comprises the whole of the original text (with some corrections) and the original illustrations.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: Fine. First Thus. BREAD UPON THE WATERS David Blagrove. J. M. Pearson, Burton on Trent. 1985 First Thus ISBN 0907864147 224pp Illustrated Paperback. This copy is bound in illustrated card covers as issued, the spine is uniformly sunned. The text block is tight, white, bright and square. An evocative account of the closing years of commercial navigation on the Midland canals. This book conjures up an England, the landscapes and peoples of dockland London, the Midland shires and industrial Birmingham of fifty years ago. This is probably the last classic account of the inland waterways as arteries of commerce and will stand as a memorial to those who fought an uneven battle against a callous bureaucracy for the survival of trade on our canals.
