Ocker Hill, Horse Boat

Pinterest throws unsolicited photo collections at my inbox, I can't resist playing with some!

 

I gleaned some info about this one from a facebook post by the then 12-year-old lad who is 'backerin' the horse.

 

However, old maps seem to predate Ocker Hill Power Station which closed in the late 1970s and it has been erased from current maps, so I would welcome any details about the location.

 

The boat is heading south along the Walsall Canal.
