Grey Peas and Bacon by Bob Bibby

Grey Peas and Bacon by Bob Bibby

Bob Bibby leads a guided tour of past and present Black Country canals to find the heartbeat of a part of the British Isles fondly caricatured for the eccentricity of its local accents but deserving of far more interest.

A wonderful read: witty, unsentimental and full of unforgettable thumbnail sketches of the people and placesShropshire Review. Very funny and equally touching...It's a hoot. Canal & Riverboat.
