Description
English: British Canals in Wartime- Transport in Britain, 1944
A cargo of steel which has been transported from London is unloaded from a pair of canal boats at Tysley quay on the Grand Union Canal in Birmingham. The wife of the boatman can be seen holding her baby as she waits for the unloading to be completed. The original caption states that normal discharge time is between two and two and a half hours. These boats will then travel to Coventry to collect a load of coal from the colliery to take back to London. According to the original caption, here at Tysley "over 18,000 tons a month are handled. 75% of the goods inward from London are steel, but copper and aluminium also come through".

This tag is designed for use where there may be a need to assert that any enhancements (eg brightness, contrast, colour-matching, sharpening) are in themselves insufficiently creative to generate a new copyright. It can be used where it is unknown whether any enhancements have been made, as well as when the enhancements are clear but insufficient. For known raw unenhanced scans you can use an appropriate {{PD-old}} tag instead. For usage, see Commons:When to use the PD-scan tag.

Note: This tag applies to scans and photocopies only. For photographs of public domain originals taken from afar, {{PD-Art}} may be applicable. See Commons:When to use the PD-Art tag.
