This fascinating book provides a history of the Thames lighterage operations of William Cory & Son Ltd..
It was written and published by K E Keenan of Waldron East Sussex in 1997.
The book contains black and white photographs and drawings as well as the interesting and informative text.
I believe the highlight of this are the 3 large drawings/plans folded into a pocket at the back of the book. one is a general arrangement of REPULSE Yard no T872 at Richard Dunston Ltd; then there is an outline of an insulated barge for James Cook & Co Wivenhoe; and finally a general arrangement plan of MT GENERAL V111.
