Spoil tipping at Whetstone

An interesting snapshot of navvies tipping spoil to form an embankment at Whetstone, Leicestershire. It is said that approximately 13 million cubic metres of earth was excavated during the line's construction, much of it being heaped into prodigious earthworks like this one to help the London Extension run on a fast, even gradient. from Leicestershire County Council
