This rare volume provides a first-hand account of navvy life during the building of the Kettering and Manton line of the Midland Railway, and how the Church dealt with its unfamiliar and unruly new flock. This facsimile edition marks the 125th anniversary of the completion in 1878 of the line’s most spectacular feature, the 1,250-yard-long Harringworth Viaduct across the Welland Valley, the longest on Britain’s railway system.
