The canals of England and Wales are historic waterways dating back over 200 years. Nowadays, the canals are mostly used for leisure activities, but they serve as a reminder of a simpler, more frugal way of life. The boat cabins were small but brightly painted, adorned with traditional ‘roses and castles’ decorations representing English folk art. Like many working-class women, Boat women were skilled in needlework, embroidery, and crochet, which they used to beautify their families’ clothing and surroundings.
