An author will give a talk on two centuries of incidents on the canal network in Lichfield.

Anthony Poulton-Smith will discuss his book Crime on the Canals at the meeting of Lichfield Waterworks Trust on 13th May.

A spokesperson said:

> “A prolific author and storyteller, Anthony looks at over two centuries of murder, theft, criminal damage and even truancy.  
>  
> “Until the coming of the railways, these waterways were the main arterial routes of the country and as such provided a temptation to every rogue and rotter.”  
>  
> Lichfield Waterworks Trust spokesperson

The talk begins at 7.30pm at the Bowling Green Pub. For more details click [here](https://www.facebook.com/LWTOfficialFacebookPage).
