Building the last Main Line Railway
Contractor's Builders Yards & Locomotives:
gcrcs152
Thought to have been taken from a spoil tip near Flecknoe,
Warwickshire, these are some of the huts that were erected by Thomas Oliver
& Son to house the navvies at work on Contract No.4 of the Last Main Line
(Rugby to Woodford). Located right along the route and homes to thousands of
navvies and their families, these unique temporary communities are a forgotten
part of the railway's construction.
