Description: Soaring 245 feet above the Avon Gorge, the Clifton Suspension Bridge stands as one of Britain's most iconic feats of engineering—and one of its most hard-won. This richly detailed account traces the bridge from Isambard Kingdom Brunel's audacious vision through decades of financial setbacks, ingenious construction techniques, and its posthumous completion as a memorial to its legendary designer. Along the way, readers explore its Victorian heyday, the ongoing work of preserving a 19th-century marvel for modern traffic, and what awaits visitors who cross it today. A compelling blend of history, engineering, and storytelling for anyone captivated by the bridges that shaped an era.
