Ready to start 'legging' a canal boat, London, c1890 (1903). Two 'leggers' ready to move the canal boat through the tunnel, by propelling the boat with their feet against the tunnel wall. Horse-drawn canal boats required leggers to continue their journey through tunnels, whilst the horse moved on above. From Living London, Vol. II, by George R. Sims.
