L2445 - Navvies laying the temporary way
Description
L2445 - Photographed near Twyford, a gang of navvies pause from their work of laying contractor's temporary railway, and pose for Newton's camera. These men would most likely have worked for Walter Scott & Co. of Newcastle upon Tyne, the firm responsible for building this section of the Last Main Line (Contract No.6, Brackley to Quainton Road).
