Title
L1245 - Calvert Navvy Mission Sunday School outing in Buckinghamshire
Description
L1245 - This remarkable photograph shows the Calvert Navvy Mission Sunday School on an outing in Buckinghamshire, circa 1897. Even by the 1890s navvies were still considered by Victorian moralists to be ungodly, drunken and unruly. The Navvy Mission Society supplied premises and missionaries to provide religious instruction, and this photograph suggests that many Missions had a strong and popular following. The Calvert Mission would have served the navvy community working on Contract No. 6 (Brackley to Quainton Road) built by Walter Scott & Co. of Newcastle upon Tyne.
