I find this pic online somewhere. Yeah, I know its only a painting, but assuming its depicting the actual scene at the time...
1. Maximum respect! Thats a lot of digging with hand tools!
2. I havent been to that particular spot - what does it look like today? How well has the river banks recovered in 150 years?
3. At least I know why its getting harder and harder to find that yellow stuff!
4. Interesting to see them tunnelling into the inside of the banks there...
Cheers,
Mike
