The Worcester and Birmingham Canal when it was authorised by Act of Parliament, to 1815 when it was completed 24 years later. Although intended as a broad canal for barges and having five broad tunnels, it was eventually completed with narrow locks due to financial difficulties.
Alan has produced a superb, and beautifully illustrated, definitive history of the Worcester & Birmingham Canal- Chris Daniels, Waterways World. Alan White's book is a very comprehensive account of the canal and has to be regarded as a definitive work. - Stanley Holland, Canals & Rivers.

He was for many years Chaplain and Head of the Mathematics Department of Bromsgrove School and more recently served as Priest-in-Charge of Tardebigge Parish through which the canal runs.
