Canals and canal boats, stationary and railway steam engines, vintage cars, textile machinery, water and wind mills: all of these have featured in my work as a professional industrial and canal historian and restoration engineer. Is there some research or advice you need relating to historic machinery and its conservation, restoration or operation? Can I help you ? Copies of reports, as well as contemporary canal pamphlets, and other industrial, maritime and canal history material are available via my downloads page. You can also download a brochure here. I also give illustrated lectures, and more details of all these services, as well as other information, can be found by following the links below.
