Isambard Kingdom Brunel
The son of a French engineer, Kingdom's first notable achievement was the part he played with his father in planning the Thames Tunnel from Rotherhithe to Wapping, completed in 1843. He was responsible for the design of several famous ships but the work for which he is probably best remembered is his construction of a network of tunnels, bridges and viaducts for the Great Western Railway.
