By: Janet Richardson
IF you missed The Golden Age of Canals documentary, it is being repeated in a primetime slot on BBC2 this Friday (July 22) at 9pm.
Organisers of The Waterways Festival at Shobnall Fields, Burton-upon-Trent are delighted that it is getting another airing exactly a week before the festival begins on Friday July 29.
Festival chairman Harry Arnold is among the waterways personalities interviewed in the programme which tells how a few diehard enthusiasts and boat owners fought to keep the network of narrow canals open when working traffic declined after the war.
