From 1825 to 1870, Charles Blacker Vignoles (1793–1875) was continually involved in civil engineering in the UK and abroad, yet has been overshadowed by more well-known contemporaries. This 1982 account, using original records, aims to put his engineering achievements into perspective and illuminate the background of one of the great pioneers of the Victorian age.
