The book documents the difficulties that the boating community experienced in the early 1960s due to unresponsive bureaucracy and unfavourable weather conditions. Additionally, it offers insight into the methods used for operating the boats during this time.

Bread Upon The Waters
Bread Upon the Waters tells the story of David Blagrove, a boatman who transported coal, timber, hardboard, and cocoa residue on narrowboats during the “great freeze” of 1962-1963 when the canals were frozen. It provides a detailed account of the last years of narrowboat carrying and the challenges faced by the last generation of canal boating families.
