Description: | Working canal boats abreast on the Birmingham Canal Navigations Canal (BCN) New Main Line Canal at Bradley, Bilston. Note that canal traffic passes on the left as with road traffic. The boatman is using a pole to keep the boat from crashing into the canal bank. Note the boatman is wearing a trilby hat as opposed to the traditional flat caps that most boatmen wore.
