About this listen
Jack Dalby, widely considered the "Godfather" of the Wilts & Berks Canal restoration, was instrumental in reviving the abandoned waterway. After surveying the canal's remains in 1969, he authored a definitive historical book in 1971 that ignited interest in its preservation. His 1977 slide show sparked the creation of the Wilts & Berks Canal Amenity Group, where he served as its inaugural President. Known for his energetic personality, Dalby's legacy endures through a lock named in his honor and book royalties that continue to fund the Trust today.Journals/ Magazines | Illustrated History | Wilts & Berks Canal Trust
