History

Brunel's Great Western Railway

The building of Isambard Kingdom Brunel's (1806-1859) broad-guage Great Western Railway from Corsham to Box involved the cutting of the record-breaking Box Tunnel - at two miles long, the longest railway tunnel in Europe. Work on the tunnel commenced in 1836 but the human cost of its 5-year construction was so awful - no less than a hundred men dead - that it was opened without ceremony on June 30th, 1841.
