Do you remember the slow chug of a narrowboat rounding a bend, the drip of water over a lock gate, the smell of engine oil and cut grass on a summer afternoon?

Locks & Memories takes you back to the golden age of Britain's canals - from the working boat families who lived their entire lives on the water, to the volunteers who saved a dying network and turned it into one of Britain's most beloved leisure treasures.

125 giant print multiple-choice questions cover the great canal engineers, the working boat culture, the roses and castles tradition, the lock-keepers and their families, the famous routes from the Grand Union to the Shropshire Union, and the remarkable revival that brought the waterways back to life.

Written in a peer-to-peer tone that respects your knowledge and your memories - not a textbook, but a conversation between people who remember when the canals were still working arteries of British industry.

Every fact has been verified against historical records. No guesswork, no padding - just the real history of a world we remember with pride.

Printed in giant print for comfortable reading. Perfect for canal enthusiasts, narrowboat holiday veterans, and anyone who has ever stood at a lock and watched the water rise.

A wonderful gift for fathers, grandfathers, and anyone who loves the quiet beauty of Britain's waterways.
