a group of men standing next to each other

Forest Lumber Works - officers of the Forest Control on the bank of the canal Five officers pose for this photograph, most likely taken by John Warwick Brooke. Four of them are standing on what appears to be some form of small loading bay or jetty. Although it is difficult to tell from the photograph itself, the caption suggests there is a canal directly beside the men. In which case the jetty was probably used to load piles of timber - carefully stacked to one side in this image - on to a barge. digital.nls.uk/74548460
