The Iron Bridge

Autorentext
Neil Cossons and Barrie Trinder worked together at Ironbridge between 1971 and 1983, the former as Director of the Ironbridge Gorge Museum and the latter as the Museum Trust's Honorary Historian. During that time they jointly directed the First International Congress of the Conservation of the Industrial Monuments and were co-authors of the first edition of this book

Klappentext
The first bridge ever to be built of iron, in 1779, is perhaps the most important industrial monument in Britain. The bridge not only changed the pattern of communications in the area, it attracted thousands of sightseers, many from overseas; for no structure of its time so caught the public imagination. The authors produced the first edition to mark the bicentenary in 1979, explaining the conception, design and construction of the bridge, the technological background, the people involved, its effect and its social impact. However, in the two decades since then, so much new evidence has come to light that they have now produced a completely re-written new account. The story of the iron bridges built in the half century after 1781 has changed dramatically, and this book identifies nearly twice as many as the first edition.
