Paddington Station by Steven Brindle

Paddington Station by Steven Brindle

Paddington Station in London is one of Britains most splendid and historically significant railway termini, and one of the masterpieces of Isambard Kingdom Brunel. This second edition is richly illustrated from a wealth of historic sources, in a larger format, and has been updated to include a series of momentous recent developments at Paddington.

'The text has been revised and updated to include the recent refurbishment of the 1913-14 roof span at Paddington... There is also an account of the virtual last-minute discovery of a cast iron canal bridge designed by Brunel in Bishops Bridge Road, hitherto concealed by brickwork until it was about to be demolished .... The numerous illustrations, a number of which are new, are excellently reproduced. Most of them have considerable historic value, which together with original drawings and plans, many in colour, combine to form an attractive book.' -- Gordon Biddle * Railway & Canal Historical Society Journal *
Paddington ... is a detailed monograph, to be read not only by the railway historian, but by those interested in the built environment in general, in which railways ... are such an important ingredient. -- Graham Kent * Transactions of the Ancient Monuments Society, Volume 61 *
