| L2878. A wonderful close-up of the headgear and loading wharf at tunnel no. 6, one of many shafts that were bored during the building of Catesby tunnel. The timber scaffold, which has been somewhat haphazardly clad in wooden planks, is surrounded by some of the thirty million bricks that are estimated to have been used for the tunnel's construction. The picture is a fine illustration of the significant impact that tunnel construction brought to the landscape both above, and beneath the surface. Note the pile of bricks that are being used to support a section of contractor's railway. | |
