A concise history of British railway from the boom of the 1840s to the demise in the 1960s all captured in a visceral flight around two stunning, landmark viaducts. Discover the story of the Waterside Viaduct, a relic of Britain's Victorian railway mania. Built amidst frenzied competition, it witnessed the boom and bust of speculative investment, duplications, and inefficiency. Explore how this engineering marvel — and its bizarre cousin at Ingleton — shaped a chaotic era. A haunting glimpse into a bygone age of ambition and failure. Paul Chowdhry narrates.
