Title
L1208 - Navvies' tea break.
Description
L1208 - A gang of seven navvies take a break from work to enjoy a cup of tea. According to S. W. A. Newton's notes, the image shows the 'Coffeeman making tea at Albion Road' in Kilburn. There is a boiler in the left of the picture and one of the navvies is carrying a can (probably full of water). Three of the navvies are in fact young boys of about thirteen years-of-age, and their small size is readily apparent when comparing them to the shovel in the hand of the boy on the right. A narrow gauge contractor's line runs off to the right of the picture.
