The Bridges of the Basingstoke Canal by Peter Whitlock

Did you know that when the Basingstoke Canal opened in 1794 there were originally 68 bridges. Peter Whitlock, one of the BCS Archivist volunteers has been busy writing a book that tells the story of all 75 bridges in existence today, ranging from the many original red brick accommodations bridges to the most recent modern bridges.

The book is a fascinating read and provides information and stores that Peter has uncovered about the bridges along the canal, including all the bridges in the last 5 miles.
