says Ernie Thomas to Hywel Davies
At Norbury Junction, on the Shropshire Union Canal, he tells of the lucky break which set him up on the way to becoming one of the biggest private canal contractors in England. With the help of some of his friends he describes the rugged life of the boatmen when canals were the backbone of the country.
