London and Birmingham Railway


Building the railways was a mammoth task and all completed with arm and muscle power. Here below we see Bourne and Camden in those early days. Tunnels weren't dug in the traditional manner, they were totally excavated then the lining built and covered then infilled over which the suburbs were built. Many beautiful structures which remain today and serve the high speed trains of the twentieth and twenty first centuries
