Title
L3093 - Shaft head at Catesby tunnel
Description
L3093 - A wonderful snapshot of the timber headgear that was erected at the top of one of the tunnel shafts sunk during the construction of Catesby tunnel. The rather haphazard planking and the debris that is strewn across the foreground combine to give the photograph an atmospheric and somewhat anarchic impression. On the left, a number of navvies have turned to face the camera.
