More about this scene
A pair of Horsfield's craft are carrying coal, the once horse-drawn butty (the 'Marjorie') towed by the motorised narrow boat. By the time this photograph was taken, commercial carrying in narrow boats was almost at an end; it was kept going in many cases by early canal enthusiasts, for whom working long anti-social hours in all weathers was actually a pleasure.
