Title
L2973 - Navvy cabins in Northamptonshire
Description
L2973 - These timber cabins formed part of a Northamptonshire navvy camp, erected by the contractors to house men at work on Contract No.5 of the Last Main Line (Woodford to Brackley). Although simple by modern standards, the huts represented a significant advance on the primitive conditions in which navvies had lived for much of the nineteenth century.
