Title
L2872 - Catesby navvy settlement
Description
L2872 - Navvy hut settlement at Catesby, photographed in August 1896. This was the largest of many camps which were erected by the contractors close to the route to house the navvies and their families. Although primitive by modern standards, these humble dwellings represented a significant improvement on the accommodation that previous generations of navvies had endured.
