Description
Widely considered to be one of the greatest engineers ever produced by Britain, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was undoubtedly an iconic figure both for contemporaries as well as those who, 200 years after his birth, still marvel at his achievements. This book looks, in particular, at Brunel's timber bridges & viaducts. Drawing upon the records of the Great Western Railway held by such bodies as the National Archives and the National Railway Museum and in various county record offices, the illustrated book shows how prevalent the use of wooden bridges and viaducts was across the entire Great Western Railway and its satellite companies.
