The Stroud Navigation opened in 1779 from the Severn at Framilode to Stroud, Gloucestershire, a distance of eight miles. It brought increased prosperity to the Stroud Valleys, a centre for early industrialisation. Ten years later the Thames & Severn Canal, linked with it. The Stroudwater is unique for being in the hands of the original company for over 200 years, and most of the primary source material for this book derives from the company archive. Personal reminisces, legal documents, census returns and illustrations, including paintings, photographs, maps, plans and poetry, are also used to record the role played by the canal in the social history of the region. Joan Tucker has known the canal for the forty years; her family lived on a narrowboat at Walk Bridge in the early sixties. For the past twenty years she has been Archives Director of the Company of Proprietors of the Stroudwater Navigation.
One of the oldest canals in Britain, the Stroudwater is part way through a multimillion pound restoration.
The 102 miles of the Cotswold Way National Trail takes me from the exquisite limestone town of Chipping Campden to the majestic city of Bath. Nature has sculpted and nurtured the landscape into one of the most picturesque regions of England. Along the way I will take a look at how mankind has changed the face of the Cotswolds. I am going to explore all of the interesting places from early Neolithic burial mounds to the great Georgian architectures of Cheltenham and Bath. I will also be learning about "Cheese Rolling" and the many other local customs that add their own special character to this area. Come with me on my journey through the spectacular scenery of the Cotswold way and discover the wonders that make the Cotswolds one of England's favourite tourist destinations.
