The Foxton Inclined Plane was one of the last great engineering constructions of the Victorian era. Completed in 1900, it represented something between a grand gesture and a hopeful gamble by the Grand Junction Canal Company, beset as they were at this period by competition from the railways. David Carden presents an in-depth study of this project which was destined to last only 28 years. The invaluable work of the Foxton Inclined Plane Trust in conserving what remains and in establishing a museum on site in a reconstructed engine house - looking towards their ultimate aim of rebuilding the inclined plane - is also addressed. 180 pages hardback, with numerous black & white illustrations.
