About this Event

While the Brecon and Abergavenny Canal Company constructed and maintained the canal, it was the Brecon Boat Company that, between 1795 and the 1860s, organised most of the transportation of coal and limestone up to Brecon.
John Gibbs will describe the work of the company and the life of its agents.
