Sally Bailey Author & Editor

As a child, Sally Bailey explored the neglected waterways of central Birmingham with her father and she has been interested in canals ever since. She subsequently wrote her college dissertation on 'The Changing uses of the Worcester and Birmingham Canal' and later studied architecture and transport studies at university. Sally has had a lifelong interest in walking, maps, transport and local history, so when she was unable to find a book which would take her round the canals of Cheshire in circular walks, she decided to write one herself.
