Description

L2319 - A gang of riveters pause for a moment from their work on the Bath Lane plate girder bridge, and pose for Newton's camera. This bridge, situated just south of Great Central Station, formed part of the long viaduct which was built to carry the Last Main Line across the city. These men would have worked for Henry Lovatt & Co. of Wolverhampton, the contractor responsible for building this section of the Railway (Contract No.2, Leake to Aylestone).
