Negatives of British Waterways, unknown photographer

Twenty-eight negative strips containing images taken by an unknown photographer, on behalf of Richard, Thomas & Baldwins Ltd, to be considered for use in an issue of INGOT magazine. The images show a journey via canal boat on a barge with ‘British Waterways’ painted down the side. They include various shots of people steering or sitting on the canal barge; people on the barge using a lock; a barge filled with stones or similar material; cranes removing material from barges; swans on the canal; a woman using rope to moor a barge; a barge passing under a bridge; a sign saying ‘British Waterways Union Canal’; a building at the side of the canal, possibly a warehouse; a child playing at the side of the canal.

The negatives were originally in packets labelled RTB 1 – RTB 7 and match the contact sheets of corresponding images. It is unknown whether any of these images were published in INGOT magazine
