Summary
Pathe synopsis: Canals are fun. That’s the belief of the away-from-packed roads revellers who polish and preen the narrow barges like those that went to the Stourbridge, Worcestershire, Canal Rally. And the number of inland sailors is increasing all the time. It’s a holiday that’s only a chug away from this hectic modern life and, for all the family, there’s a different look about things - a new sort of peace on the old canals that remember the burden of coal and steel.
