Explore The Canal

Rickmansworth to Watford

Edited by Marjorie Mills, circa 1979

Paperback A5 booklet 24 pages

This is a good example of the walking guides that include details of the history of the area - in this case the canal and the associated industrial development - as well as information on other things, such as boating, angling, wild life, and places for refreshment.

Drawbridge at Sabey's Wharf

 

There is a useful map showing the layout of the rivers and canal in the Rickmansworth area.

While undated the last date explicitly mentioned is 1978, and there is a "late news" style comment that John Dickinson's Croxley Mill is to close (which happened in 1980).

  There are web pages for The Grand Union Canal and Rickmansworth
