The year is 1938, and deep underground, a group of determined men labor tirelessly to connect two counties through the construction of the Dartford pilot tunnel. The image captures the essence of hard work and perseverance as these brave individuals navigate through challenging working conditions. Covered in dirt and grime, their faces tell stories of dedication and resilience amidst an environment that demands strength both physically and mentally.
