EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in time during the construction of Coast Road in Horden, County Durham. The image showcases a group of diligent workmen standing proudly beside a powerful Ruston excavator as they load earth into wagons on a track. Their determined expressions reveal their dedication to the task at hand. The location depicted in this photograph is believed to be looking south-west along Coast Road, situated to the east of Dene Villas (later known as Willow Grove). It offers us a glimpse into the early stages of road building, showcasing the impressive engineering and civil engineering efforts that were required for such an ambitious project. The presence of these skilled laborers, commonly referred to as navvies or workmen, highlights their crucial role in shaping our infrastructure. With shovels in hand and sweat on their brows, they tirelessly worked together with modern machinery like the Ruston excavator to transform raw land into a functional roadway. This print not only serves as a testament to human ingenuity but also pays homage to those who dedicated themselves to constructing vital transportation links. It reminds us of the immense progress made over time and how each step forward has contributed towards creating better connections within our communities.
