Time Team S16E05 - Blood, Sweat and Beers - Rise Hill, Cumbria, North Yorkshire

Time Team visit the Rise Hill navvy camp near Garsdale, created for the construction of the Settle-Carlisle railway. This is the first such site ever excavated. They are joined by industrial archaeologists Bill Bevan and Mike Nevell, and historian David Holmes, to create a picture of the people who built much of industrial Britain. But the dig is hampered by heavy rain. Matt is roped in to live the life of a navvy for a day.
