Title
L1239 - Tipping wagon, horse and navvies at Grendon-Haddenham, Buckinghamshire
Description
L1239 - Navvies and boys at work in a shallow cutting at Grendon-Haddenham, Buckinghamshire, circa 1903. The rails are not the permanent way, but temporary tracks laid by the contractor, in this case Louis P. Nott. Both horses and locomotives were used to pull the large number of tipping wagons required to move the enormous quantities of earth between cuttings and embankments.
