This is a reproduction from a glass plate negative from the Clyde Engineering photographic collection that has been added to the Commons project on Flickr. The Museum acquired this collection in December 1987 and it includes interior and exterior images of the people and workshops at Clyde Engineering and on the banks of the Duck River. Most of these photographs were commissioned and taken around the Clyde Works in Granville by numerous photographers whose identity is unfortunately unknown.

This image shows a workman and a pair of silt scoops chained back to back in working position. The exact date of this image is unknown. If you have any information about this image or the Clyde Engineering company please send us a comment. We would love to know more about this image.
