EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a bygone era in London, showcasing the hardworking navvies who toiled tirelessly to maintain and repair the city's streets. The image transports us back to 1870, where we see a group of English laborers known as "navvies" engaged in the arduous task of digging up and filling in roads.
The caption aptly describes these men as navigators of sorts, for they navigate through the streets with their shovels and pickaxes, uncovering hidden treasures beneath layers of dirt and grime. If ever there was gold to be found on London's streets, it would surely be discovered by these dedicated workers who spend their lives ensuring that the city remains functional and accessible.
As we gaze upon this historical snapshot, we are reminded of the vital role that construction workers like navvies played in shaping urban landscapes and facilitating transportation throughout England. Their efforts may have gone unnoticed by many, but their contributions were essential in maintaining order and progress within bustling cities like London.
Thanks to Mary Evans Picture Library, we are able to glimpse into this fascinating chapter of history through this remarkable photograph. It serves as a poignant reminder of the unsung heroes who labored behind-the-scenes to keep our streets safe and passable for generations to come.
