It takes a collective dream, a colossally pressing issue and a civil engineering genius to design infrastructure projects that not only solve the problem of its time but also set a fine example of reliability, continuity and robustness.
‘Works’ takes the listener through some of London’s the most ingenious public works that tackled enormous challenges and fuelled growth and progress of London we know today. Through eloquent verse it delves into Bazalgette’s sewerage system and explores Crossness Pumping station, it travels across the English Channel to Paris on the Eurostar, it examines Victorian tunnels and busy junctions, motorway networks and airports among other infrastructure projects that continue to shape the development of the UK metropolis.
The author of multiple Readers Favourite badge titles presents Works as part of a London Baby series, yet it can be enjoyed as a wholly standalone title.
