England is fortunate in having a superb canal network which combines the opportunity for leisure boating with a constantly changing scenic background. The heart of England is particularly well served with canals designed and built by 18th and 19th Century engineers, who pioneered what was then a new concept in travel and transport.

Alan Tyers has captured the changing moods of the Midland canals with photographs of waterways, boats and the people who work them.

His images range from the busy inner city basins of Coventry and Birmingham to the quiet waters found in the rural reaches of Staffordshire, Oxfordshire and Warwickshire.

'Canals in the Heart of England' is an essential addition to the libraries of all who value and respect England's waterways and their renaissance in the twenty first century.
