Weaver flat coal boats with tug 'Phyllis' near the Barton Aqueduct on the Bridgewater Canal
Black and white photograph taken from above the canal, the tug is to one side of the canal with the Weaver flats lined up in the middle. The boats are from the Leigh/Worsley mines and are waiting to cross the Barton Aqueduct. There are also barges loaded with coal waiting. There are houses beside the canal and industrial buildings in the distance.
