Britain has a heritage of civil engineering works unrivalled anywhere. The skills of past engineers are in evidence throughout the land in the infrastructure. The Institution of Civil Engineers' Panel for Historical Engineering Works has compiled records of these works, selected for their techncial interest, innovation, durability and aesthetic qualities. The series Civil Engineering Heritage makes available to a wider public information contained in these archives, which will be of interest to both the technical and non-technical reader. The area covered in this volume reaches from the Humber to the Thames and from East Anglia to central England.
