Description
Aqueducts and Viaducts of Britain by Victoria Owens explores the fascinating history behind some of the most iconic landmarks of the British landscape. From unassuming arches to immense multi-span structures, each bridge has its own distinctive story to tell. The book delves into the ambitions of the engineers who designed these structures, the endurance of the labourers who built them, and their lasting impact on the nation. With numerous photographs and grid references providing a guide to the bridges' locations, this book offers a unique insight into Britain's industrial past. By examining the aqueducts and viaducts that crisscrossed the country between 1761 and 1963, Owens sheds light on the ingenuity and perseverance of those who built them.
