Celebrating the astonishing construction which on completion was referred to as 'the first engineering wonder of the world'. It first considers the history of the Queens Ferry and looking at earlier proposals for a bridge, and then by showing how the engineers and men who built it managed to overcome the impossible. It is full of stories and interesting detail, the book is lavishly illustrated with photographs of all stages of construction and a curious collection of postcard views and other ephemera of the bridge.
