Building the last Main Line Railway
Flecknoe, Willoughby and Staverton: gcrcs123
A team of navvies take a short break from their work in
order to pose for Newton's camera some where near to Staverton Road. Using
small wooden tubs being drawn by horses along a muddy narrow gauge track, these
men are removing turf. This was the first stage of building the line, after
this process the contractor's standard gauge would be laid either to assist in
the removal of spoil in a cutting or to transport the spoil to an
embankment.
