Black Country Boots Canal Dereliction Factory Flat Cap Telegraph Poles Tow Path

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1950s, capturing a moment at the Manure lock basin in Wolverhampton. The focal point of the image is a narrow boat captain standing alongside the lock keeper, both wearing traditional flat caps. It was on this fateful day, January 12th, 1950, that their journey hit an unexpected obstacle. The scene depicts a derelict industrial landscape with old factories lining the canal's edge. Telegraph poles stand tall in the background as witnesses to this incident. The water reflects not only these remnants of a bygone era but also hints at its own stories and secrets. The photograph transports us to a time when canals were vital transport routes for goods and people alike. It reminds us of an era when hardworking men navigated these waterways with skill and determination. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are reminded of the resilience and resourcefulness required to overcome obstacles encountered along life's journey. This image captures not just an unfortunate incident but also serves as a testament to human perseverance amidst adversity. Preserved by Carter through Memory Lane Prints, this print offers us a glimpse into our past - one that is rich with stories waiting to be discovered and shared once again.
