Description:... The Worcestershire and Birmingham Canal, some thirty miles long, was created from 1791, when it was authorised by Act of Parliament, to 1815 when it was completed 24 years later. This book traces, in detail, the successive stages reached in making the canal, and the reservoirs needed to safeguard the water supplies of millowners, and more.
