Chris Morris - introduction by Sir Neil Cousins 112 pp full colour Size: 175h x 250w

The son of a shepherd, Thomas Telford was born into poverty in the Scottish Borders and rose to become an engineering legend of the early nineteenth century. His innovative structures helped shape the Industrial Revolution and his working methods still influence modern practice.

Documentary Photographer Chris Morris celebrates Telford's architecture and engineering - much of which remains - with a series of tours reflecting the great mans itinerant lifestyle. The resulting images are emotive and yet informative, frequently including details of twenty-first-century life as a counterpoint to Telford's two-hundred-year-old legacy.
