Title
L3094 - Headgear at a Catesby tunnel shaft
Description
L3094 - Taken on a wet winter's day around 1897, this is a view across a churned landscape towards the large timber headgear which stood at the top of one of the shafts sunk during the construction of Catesby tunnel. From here, bricks and other materials could be lowered to the army of navvies working below ground: the buckets no doubt returning to the surface laden with spoil and debris.
