Battle for the North by Charles Mckean
Presents a dramatic and scandalous story of the building of the Tay and Forth Bridges and the 19th century railway wars. This work explores the complicated reality underlying the Victorian pursuit of progress. It offers conclusions about why the first Tay Bridge collapsed and tells how the Forth and Tay bridges eventually became reality.
Charles McKean is Professor of Architectural History at Dundee university. He lives in Edinburgh.
