Title

L3524 - Man and dog in Charwelton

Description

L3524 - This intriguing photograph shows a man in threadbare clothing and his dog pause as they walk along a lane in Charwelton. Carrying a light backpack, it is possible that the gentleman may be a navvy 'on the tramp.' Railway workers often walked great distances up and down the country with their kit on their backs looking for, or acting on a tip off of work.
