Forging Ahead: A History of Tooley’s Boatyard by Matthew Armitage.
Armitage provides a fascinating look at Tooley’s historic boatyard in Banbury. This almost hidden jewel in the north Oxfordshire market town has been a well known feature of the Oxford Canal for the past 240 years. The author has been the director of the business for the past 16 years.
Using archive material as well as his own intimate knowledge of the site, Armitage describes the yard’s tumultuous and challenging past.
