Building the last Main Line Railway
Contractor's Builders Yards & Locomotives: gcrcs87
From the messages placed on the walls of this navvy mission
room, it appears the religious instruction here was no less uncompromising than
the furniture. Navvy missions were sometimes housed in purpose built huts, or
like this one at Staverton, were placed in converted barns and outbuildings.
These premises would have served those navvies at work on Contract No.4 (Rugby
to Woodford), built by T. Oliver & Son between 1894-1899.
