Building the Forth Bridge

13th June – 24th July 2009

Mon – Sat 10.00am – 4.00pm

Venue: Rook Lane Chapel

It is a little known fact that the monumental Forth Bridge was the result of the visionary genius of a Frome man. Thanks to support from the Heritage Lottery Fund and Buro Happold and a range of other exciting partners and supporters, we celebrate Baker’s industrial masterpiece in the making through Evelyn Carey’s iconic photographs, alongside rarely seen vintage prints of two of his other remarkable projects, the Aswan Dam and transportation of Cleopatra’s Needle.
