Britain's canal network is not a relic for weekend boaters; it is a dormant, gravity-fed insurance policy against the fragility of the modern world. In Canals: The Silent Infrastructure, the romanticised image of the waterway is stripped away to reveal a gritty, biomechanical machine designed for national resilience. From the "puddled" clay foundations to the massive pulling power of the Shire horse, this book explores how a two-hundred-year-old system remains our most durable transport alternative.
We have traded the permanence of the silver veins for the temporary convenience of the motorway, leaving our strategic backup to rot in plain sight. This book investigates the "Ghost Map" of severed routes and the vanishing trades of the water, arguing for a radical return to a four-mile-per-hour future. It is a manifesto for a nation that must rediscover the strength of the slow before the high-tech lights go out.
