Book Synopsis Barges & Bargemen by : Barrie Stuart Trinder
Book excerpt: Focuses on the River Severn between the Worcestershire ports of Bewdley and Stourport, and the medieval weir near Welshpool that marks the uppermost limit of boating, a stretch where the river remained 'in a state of nature'. This book traces the history of river trade from 1660, through its heyday during the Industrial Revolution.
