Title
L1894 - Barby spoil bank and bridge wing walls
Description
L1894 - Looking south along the embankment towards Barby spoil bank in Northamptonshire, this photograph provides a reminder of how railway construction had the power to transform the landscape. The millions of tons of earth and rock, driven out of cuttings and piled high for embankments, forever changed the face of rural Britain. The brick wing walls and parapet of an underbridge can be seen in the foreground. T. Oliver & Son was the firm contracted to build this section of the Line (Contract No.4, Rugby to Woodford).
