Grand Western Canal Through Time Paperback
by Brian Lewis, Margaret Lewis
Paperback
Description
The Grand Western Canal Through Time contains 180 photographs of which 90 are old photographs, some printed in a sepia tone and some in full colour.
These photographs are printed alongside a contemporary full colour photograph which illustrates the same scene.
The contrasting illustrations show how the area has changed and developed during the last 100 years.
The Grand Western Canal Country Park meanders through beautiful mid-Devon countryside and quiet villages between Tiverton and Lowdwells (near the Somerset border).
Declared a Country Park in 1971 and a Local Nature Reserve in 2005, the canal is owned and managed by Devon County Council, in partnership with Mid Devon District Council. The Country Park is managed for recreation, wildlife and historic interest and appeals both to local communities and visitors alike. Extending for eleven and a quarter miles, the Country Park provides a wonderful location to enjoy walking, cycling, boating, fishing and picnics. Join Brian and Margaret Lewis on this visual journey along the Canal from its beginnings in Wells, Somerset to its end in glorious Devon.
