As a civil engineer, Sir John Fowler (1817-98) devoted his life to
the railways. His best-known achievements include the first railway
bridge across the Thames in London, Manchester Central Station, the
development of the London Underground and (with Sir Benjamin Baker)
the Forth Bridge - arguably the most remarkable feat of engineering
of the nineteenth century. Given access to friends and family
papers, the author and social theorist Thomas Mackay (1849-1912)
portrays a man who was fascinated by engineering as a child, and
who continued to work up until his death. As a portrait of one of
the architects of Victorian Britain, this biography, first
published in 1900, will be of great interest to historians of the
period as well as readers wishing to know more about the
development of iconic infrastructure.
