BCN: BLACK COUNTRY CROSSING

摘要

To some boaters, the formerly industrial waterways of the Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) are at best a means to an end: a length of urban canal to be traversed to reach the more attractive rural cruising grounds on the far side. To others, the surviving 100 miles of what was the country's most intensely industrial network have an attraction in their own right: these BCN enthusiasts will seek out every dead end, looking for signs of old wharves, basins and arms and the history that they reveal.
