Chippenham and the Wilts & Berks Canal (Chippenham Studies 2)

by Chippenham Museum

£6.95

Long forgotten and now overgrown or covered with modern building, the Chippenham Arm of the Wilts & Berks Canal once brought working boats to the centre of Chippenham. Seen through the live of some of its characters, this is the story of Chippenham’s canal, from political scheming in the days of ‘canal mania’, through years of relative prosperity to its inevitable decline and eventual abandonment following the arrival of the railway.
