Between 1750 and 1850 the British landscape was transformed by a
transport revolution which involved engineering works on a scale
not seen in Europe since Roman times. While the economic background
of the canal and railway ages are relatively well known and many
histories have been written about the locomotives which ran on the
railways, relatively little has been published on how the
engineering works themselves were made possible. This book brings
together a series of papers which seek to answer the questions of
how canals and railways were built, how the engineers responsible
organised the works, how they were designed and what the role of
the contractors was in the process.
