A catalogue of curiosities. Wednesday, May 9, 2012. Besides having an epic name, this architect from the mid-1800s made himself quite famous in London and beyond. The first work of his that I saw in Ealing was the very large and impressive Wharncliffe Viaduct. Which is still used today as a bridge for trains. The Clifton Suspension Bridge in Bristol. The Royal Albert Bridge between Plymouth and Saltash. I would love to now go and see the Brunel Museum. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile.
