Clifton Suspension Bridge  2

Great Western Railway icon Isambard Kingdom Brunel designed the Clifton Suspension Bridge, but it wasn’t completed until after his death. Hawkshaw and Barlow altered the design to use chains from the recently demolished Hungerford bridge in London, another Brunel design.

John Hawkshaw went on to design the Severn Tunnel for the GWR, while Barlow designed Barlow rails used for the GWR’s broad gauge and more famously the St Pancras railway station for the Midland Railway.
