An early British railway station architect: the life, times and works of Sancton Wood, 1814-86

摘要

Sancton Wood produced some of the most handsome and distinctive railway stations on either side of the Irish Sea but seems to have left little in the way of direct sources for his life. The author has thus done well to mine a great deal of original material in order to produce this record of his life, family and work. With the railway boom over, Wood turned to other fields, such as survey work in London, and this too is covered.
