Brunel Bridge, London

We are helping to restore one of the few examples of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's work in London.

The bridge, which lay hidden for decades beneath the faccade of a later bridge, was discovered during redevelopment work around Paddington.

Bringing our fundraising and project development skills to the partnership, we are working with British Waterways, English Heritage and Westminster City Council to restore and re-locate the bridge to Stone Wharf Gardens in Paddington.

As well as reinstating a piece of engineering history, the bridge will create much needed access for walkers and cyclists from the busy Harrow road to the Grand Union Canal.

The bridge, which dates from 1838, was hidden for decades within a modern brick road bridge. Dismantled in 2004, it is now stored in English Heritage's yard in Portsmouth.
