Description: | A group of workers who appear to be repairing the side of the Cannock Extension Canal. It appears that part of the left bank of the canal has either fallen in or has been partly demolished for possible repairs. Note the low water level in the canal. Hednesford Basin (known as 'Edgeford' by the boatmen) is at the end of the Cannock Extension Canal. It was used extensively after the First World War (1914-1918) as by this time, most of the coal for the Black Country came from Cannock Chase mines. (Courtesy of the T. W.
