Ernie Poole with Horse Drawn Boat

Ernie Poole leading his horse through Lymm on the Bridgewater Canal, while at the same time holding the nose bowl for the midday feed.

The boat, which can just be seen approaching the bridge is Trixie.  This photograph was taken on 14 September 1932 , and the original print from which this copy was produced unfortunately gives the impression of having been in somebody's pocket ever since !
