Subject: [Leica] Nathan's PAD 10/7/2012: Brunel's railroad

We are spending the last day of our UK trip at our son's place in Bath 
before all four of us fly back to Alicante tonight. I woke up early and went 
for a walk in my son's not very interesting neighbourhood. And yet, I took 
my picture of the day during this walk--one of Britain's and hence the 
world's oldest rail lines, connecting Bath with Bristol and built by 
Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1839-1840. By coincidence, I am reading a book 
about the arrival of the railroad in Bath in 1840 and the impact it had on 
the local economy and society. Fascinating piece of social history.
