I also managed to pick up Bradshaw's Handbook 1861. A similar book to the one Maurice bought only mine is a second edition. It was reduces from £20.00 to £6.00

I have two of the three, my copy of Barging round Britain was free though, I won it in a competition held by the Canal and Rivers Trust, although I can't remember entering one. :D

The canal builders sounds like an interesting volume.
