"It is obviously pointless to question Brunel's genius: no engineer - then or since - has displayed greater talent and energy across so many different, yet complementary, areas of nineteenth century industrial enterprise. All that may be done is to describe - however inadequately - the variety and scale of his achievements".
That is how our speaker, Michael Murphy, bills his talk on Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Mike was born in Birkenhead, has taught at schools in Wirral and Liverpool, and was head of history at St Francis Xavier's College. He has spoken to us several times, over the past 20 years, on a variety of different topics, and we are very pleased to welcome him back.
ALL WELCOME
