The tug “Joanna” with the BCNS joey “Crow” full of rubbish from the Soho Loop, along with some of those often found guilty of helping out.
The work party on the Soho Loop was a major success – much rubbish and scrap metal retrieved from the canal bed.
Some of it needed serious effort to get it off the canal bed – Mike Powell’s “Anson” provided a good test of the breaking strain of synthetic line hauling a shopping trolley buried deep in the mud. (The slave gang on the bank were completely unable to move it!)
Some idea of the quantity and nature can be seen from the contents of the joey “Crow” .
