Blacksmiths hooping a wooden cartwheel

Blacksmith brothers Matt and Harold Fletcher outside their blacksmith's shop in Park Street. They are hooping a wooden cartwheel by fitting a red hot steel hoop or band onto the wheel that is fixed onto the steel hooping plate. They would then cool the hoop with water, in order to make it shrink onto the wood.
