…and including a detailed guide to a walk along the towpath between

Combining his interest in glass with a lifelong love of inland waterways. Graham
Fisher MBE explored the mutuality of his two passions in the original Jewels on the
Cut, described as ‘an erudite yet enthusiastic rendition of the fascinating history of The Stourbridge Canal’.
In this comprehensively revised and updated version, all related in his inimitable
raconteurial style, he identifies the momentous changes that have happened in
the interim, reflects on the creation of the Canal & River Trust and describes the
formation of the British Glass Foundation that led to the building of a world class
