1st Class - Royal Albert Bridge
Often recognised as Brunel's most outstanding works, this magnificent bridge carries the Cornwall Railway at a height of 100 feet across the waters of the River Tamar at Saltash.

 

40p - Box Tunnel
Unfortunately for Brunel, Box Hill consists mainly of limestone, but with the help of 4,000 men and 300 horses he built a tunnel so straight it was argued that on some days the 'sun actually shines through the complete length of the tunnel' . 

42p - Paddington Station
In an age when the new railways were regarded as the acme of modernity and sources of future prosperity for cities and towns, the pressure was on for Brunel when he rebuilt Paddington Station.  The 700 foot long wrought iron and glass structure did not disappoint.

 

47p - PSS Great Eastern
As the largest ship of its time, weighing 19,000 tonnes, the Great Eastern had to be launched sideways and took 200 men two years to take it to pieces when it retired.

 

60p - Suspension Bridge
Aged 24, Brunel won a competition in 1830 to design a bridge to build over the Avon Gorge.  In 1834 money ran out; however the bridge was eventually completed by members of the Institution of Civil Engineers after Brunel's death.

68p - Maidenhead Bridge
Maidenhead Railway Bridge carries the mainline of the Great Western Railway over the River Thames. The Duke of Wellington was against the construction, famously saying 'it will only encourage the lower classes to move about.'
