Hi can anyone tell me the difference between a ganger and a navvie. I researching a place in blackpool where the roadbuilders and railway workers mainly settled once everything had been built. The old ladies I interviewing call their dads 'gangers'. However some of their mothers 'put up' navvies for the week or night.
What is the difference between the two?
Thanks
Lyn
