In a BBC poll in 2002, Isambard Kingdom Brunel was voted the second-greatest Briton of all time, only eclipsed by Winston Churchill. In the soaring ambitions of the Victorian age, nobody thought bigger than Brunel; indeed, it's often claimed that that, through his ships, bridges, tunnels and railways, he played a critical role in creating the modern world.
