Excerpt from Navvies and Their Needs
By far the greater part of the work was done by lay helpers, a kind and most helpful band, without whose assistance my own efforts would have been of little avail. We worked together, very closely united by our common aim, and, I think, never stopping to ask whose share was the largest. In speaking, therefore, of these things we did and tried to do, I shall speak always of our work, begging the reader to remember thas his attention is asked only to the work.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the lives of navvies, the men who built Britainââ â¢s railways and reservoirs in the 19th century. The author, a clergyman, uses his own experiences working among navvies to provide a firsthand account of their struggles and challenges. The book delves into the harsh realities of navvy life, including the grueling work, the lack of adequate housing, and the limited opportunities for education and spiritual development. The author highlights the navviesââ ⢠social isolation, their vulnerability to exploitation, and the negative impact these factors had on their lives. The book, written in a time of great social change, reflects the growing awareness of the plight of the working class in Victorian England. The author passionately advocates for a more compassionate approach to the navvy population, urging the public, as well as the clergy and employers, to recognize their responsibility in providing for their needs. By exposing the harsh reality of navvy life, the author compels readers to consider their own roles in creating a more just and equitable society.
