Description: | A Birmingham Canal Navigations (BCN) powered wooden canal tug (right) at Catshill Stop, Brownhills, on the junction of the Wryley & Essington Canal with Rushall Canal (an extension of the Daw End Branch). The canal carrier Ernest Thomas of Walsall can be seen on the side of the tug. 'Dot' denotes the name of the boat. He later owned a substantial lorry fleet. Two empty canal barges that appear to have water in them, are being manoeuvered round a bend in the canal. Note that canal traffic traffic passes on the left as with road traffic. (Courtesy of the T.
