Blurb:
Not just a book for canal enthusiasts, this is the story of John 'Jacko' Jackson following an alternative to mainstream life by developing a waterborne coal business. It is told in a lively and amusing manner. Starting in Gas Street Basin in Birmingham, he progresses to becoming established at a rural yard in Staffordshire via a very old fashioned boat-yard in the Black Country. Humour and interest abound throughout the canal system, clearly evident in the tales recounted here.
