Date:January 1970

Description:British Waterways boats breaking ice on the Staffordshire & Worcestershire Canal at Radford, near Stafford. A diesel rig pulling three narrow boats and pushing a dredger was used to keep the canal clear during heavy frosts in January 1970. At the time, some freight was still using the canal, including the delivery of silicon carbide to Universal Grinding Wheel.
