Catesby Tunnel and Viaduct: gcrcs150

View of one of Catesby tunnel's shafts employing a simpler type of headgear to gain access to the tunnel. The rather haphazard planking and the debris that is strewn across the foreground combine to give the photograph an atmospheric and somewhat anarchic impression. On the left, a number of labourers have turned to face the camera.
