The Inland Waterways Association is an organization that has been instrumental in preserving and restoring canals in the UK. Its early years were crucial in saving these waterways from being lost forever. The association was founded in 1946 when many of the UK’s canals were in disrepair. The canals had been largely abandoned in the 20th century due to competition from railways and roads. However, the Inland Waterways Association recognized the potential of these waterways and began campaigning for their restoration.
Race Against Time
‘Race Against Time’ is an account of the early days of the Inland Waterways Association by David Bolton. It details the battle to save the canals and civil wars within the Inland Waterways Association. Thanks to the tireless efforts of the association, many canals have been restored and are now used for leisure activities such as boating and fishing.
