New Book On Towpath Tractor Driver

[Tim Lewis]

We at the London Canal Museum have published the recollections of Tony Byfield, one of the last surviving Regents canal towpath tractor drivers.

In the 1950s, miniature diesel tractors were introduced to the towpath to replace horses, working short-distance barge traffic around London's waterways. Taken from interviews and oral history recordings, this book is an account of his life and times on the London canals and is a vivid account of a previously little-documented story.

The book is available online from the museum:
