       Navvies were the laborers who built the railways and canal
       systems in England and the USA.  So this particular 'cake' would
       have been common around the canal system.
       Here is an article on its history

       Interesting to see that this type of 'cake' dates back to Roman
       times, and the inclusion of raisins ans sweeteners to bread was
       a common thing. It was probably the precursor to my Gt Uncles
       famous Lardy Cake and being in Wiltshire, the home of Bacon
       curing, lard was introduced to the mix.
       Here's a recipe, but there are many variations so check them out
       on Google.
