Telford rejected all the designs and submitted his own but the decision to declare him the winner was unpopular and a second competition was held in 1830. 24 year old Isambard Kingdom Brunel was eventually declared the winner and appointed project engineer – his first major commission. The foundation stone was laid in 1831 but the project was dogged with political and financial difficulties and by 1843, with only the towers completed, the project was abandoned. Brunel died prematurely aged 53 yrs in 1859 but the Bridge was completed as his memorial and finally opened in 1864. Designed in the early 19th century for light horse drawn traffic it still meets the demands of 21st century commuter traffic with 11-12, 000 motor vehicles crossing it every day.

Telford rejected all the designs and submitted his own but the decision to declare him the winner was unpopular and a second competition was held in 1830. 24 year old Isambard Kingdom Brunel was eventually declared the winner and appointed project engineer – his first major commission. The foundation stone was laid in 1831 but the project was dogged with political and financial difficulties and by 1843, with only the towers completed, the project was abandoned. Brunel died prematurely aged 53 yrs in 1859 but the Bridge was completed as his memorial and finally opened in 1864. Designed in the early 19th century for light horse drawn traffic it still meets the demands of 21st century commuter traffic with 11-12,000 motor vehicles crossing it every day.

Clifton Suspension Bridge above the Avon Gorge, Bristol, c.1880. The bridge was designed by Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and work began in 1831 on the twin towers. Money problems meant that by 1843 only the stone towers were in place. After Brunel's death in 1859 the plans were revised. Clifton opened to traffic in 1864.

Clifton Suspension Bridge above the Avon Gorge, Bristol, under construction in c.1863. The bridge was designed by Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and work began in 1831 on the twin towers. Money problems meant that by 1843 only the stone towers were in place. After Brunel's death in 1859 the plans were revised. In 1863 wooden scaffolding was erected and a wire rope and timber footway was strung between the towers. This enabled the wrought iron supporting chains to be assembled. These chains were originally used on Brunel's Hungerford Suspension Bridge across the Thames at Charing Cross, London. Clifton opened to traffic in 1864.
