The boat is New Era, owned by Canal Carriers of Shipley, a coal and carrying company formed by Jonathan Rennard in 1922, after the L&LC gave up carrying. The photo was taken at Buck Wood, just below Shipley. The boat is carrying coal, and heading up Aire Valley on the western side. The canal changes to the eastern side at Dowley Gap. David Joy set up the Dalesman magazine many years ago, and has had a long interest in the history of local industry and transport.
