construction-camps

Updated: August 8, 2026

Here, on the way back, some weeks later, we had to spend the night in a little hotel which 'accommodated transients. It was a rough affair of planks, inhabited by whatever wandering workman from construction-camps or other labour in the region wanted shelter for the night. You slept in a sort of dormitory, each bed partitioned off from the rest by walls that were some feet short of the ceiling.
