RETIRED
ANNOUNCEMENT This page has been retired. I have not recently added any new items, nor have I recently checked the links already here to be sure they still work.

I am keeping this page available in case some of you still might find it useful.

Though many links may still be working, your safest course would be to do a web search on the organization name or firm name in order to find the latest link.

Also many local Canal- and Waterway-Related Organizations have historical information on their particular canal.
Historical information for canals in North America can be found on the North American Canals page.

Waterway Photographs

Of course, most sites linked to from canals.com include photographs related to their topic area. The sites below are those devoted specifically to waterway photographs and not by professional photographers.

Waterway Art and Craft

For traditional signwriting and boat lettering, see the "Boat Ownership ..." page.

Canalside and Waterside New Home Developments

I have stopped this coverage as it is too difficult to keep up-to-date. However, if you copy and paste this into a search engine (e.g. google):

uk canalside new home developments

there is often some interesting hits.

Thanks to Steve Parish, Martin Clark, Baz Juniper, "Liz", and Neil Arlidge for past contributions to the "home developments" section.


Bill Davies and Jerry Coleman, with the help of members of this mailing list, have also generated UK Waterways Information for First-Timers.
