The Navvies Memorial

The Navvies Memorial in Otley is dedicated to the men who lost their lives building the Bramhope tunnel, as well as the thousands of other navvies who helped build the nation’s railways. 
Those navvies are commemorated in a memorial standing in the northern extension of the graveyard of All Saints Parish Church in Otley, West Yorkshire. The Navvies Memorial, a replica of the crenellated north portal of the Bramhope Tunnel and a Grade II listed building, is in memory of the men who died building the tunnels – but also stands in tribute to all those who lost their lives building the vast network of railways across the country. It represents the only national memorial to the navvies.
