The navvies who built the Severn Valley Railway
Find out how the Victorians built Britain's railways, including the Severn Valley Railway. Most of the navvies who carried out the work were not from the area, and the itinerant gangs who came to labour not only faced dangerous working conditions and tough lives, but were also disliked by the local population. Our film looks at what it was like in the mid-1800s, when the Severn Valley line was being constructed.
