Haircutting time - Public Works Dept. Tent Huts, Lewis Pass.1930`s.

About this image

DescriptionThe team of workers who constructed the Lewis Pass Road in the 1930s not only had to build a road, but also had to take care of themselves and their hair.

This photo was taken outside a tent hut at the Public Works Department camp for workers building the road.

Our photo collection also shows the workers keeping busy and entertained by engaging in running races, reading and taking care of pet rams.
