Building the last Main Line Railway
Newton to the Oxford Canal: gcrcs131
A navvy poses for the camera besides a pumping engine fitted
with a vertical boiler at the foot of an embankment near Caves Inn, north of
Newton. This man would most likely have worked for Topham, Jones & Railton,
the firm responsible for building Contract No.3 of the GC's Main Line
(Aylestone to Rugby).
