pwithnall reviewed Canals by J. C. Gagg (The Observer's series)
Review of 'Canals' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Informative, but quite opinionated and a little condescending. It includes a lot of uncommon knowledge about canals (at least from my point of view), but occasionally dilutes it with irrelevant coverage of other things (like the wildlife you’ll find in a hedgerow). Overall, an interesting and quick read on canals, with the bonus that it’s also an interesting insight into people’s opinions on canals in the 80s.
