It's a really big loaf tin. The biggest you can normally get. You should be able to spread your hand across the inside of the base of a 2lb tin, with space to spare.
Unless you are cooking bread for a lot of people, I'd put the dough into 2 one-lb tins, and freeze one finished loaf for later. But don't leave a white loaf in the freezer for long, as the crust falls off.

Reply to OG - try googling "Flying Crust". If you make a loaf from ordinary white strong flour and put it in the freezer, it only takes about a week before the crust starts flaking off. And I have made/frozen an awful lot of bread. If you add some brown flour or only make wholemeal loaves, this shouldn't happen. But, as 50+5 says, home-made loaves can be far too delicious to last long enough to freeze.
