La Sambre belge - Première rivière canalisée

This book presents the history of the Sambre, the first canalised river in Belgium. Rising in France, it enters Belgium at Erquelinnes and flows for about ninety kilometres before meeting the Meuse in Namur.
Known since Antiquity for its strong current and shallow areas, it was difficult to navigate. From 1825 onwards, canalisation and lock construction gradually made the river accessible to increasingly heavy vessels.
In the 19th century, the industrial revolution greatly increased production, and water transport became the most economical way to move large quantities of goods. Heavy industry along the Sambre shaped the landscape and turned the river into an economic engine for the south of the country.

Crossing rural areas upstream and industrial regions further along, the Sambre has a rich and varied past. This illustrated book, containing rare or unpublished photographs, reflects this remarkable history.
