Since he was a teenager, Cyril Wood has always had a passion for cine film and stills photography. His first childhood holiday on a narrow boat with his family back in the 1960s, also led to a life-long love affair with this country's canal network.

Cyril has since gone on to combine both these passions, recording the canals of Britain through photography. He took his first photograph of the Manchester Ship Canal in 1985 and regularly returns to the canal to take additional photographs. He has also written a book on the Manchester Ship Canal featuring many photographs.

Although he has a passion for old still cameras, Cyril has moved with the times and now regularly uses a digital camera. He uses his computer to upload his digital photographs which he stores on a hard drive and on his website for others to enjoy. He also archives historical stills from the canal, scanning them into his computer.
