The Architecture the Railways Built: Episode 10
Tim is given special access to Wingfield, one of the oldest surviving railways in the world. He uncovers the longest brick viaduct in the UK, the Welland Viaduct in Northamptonshire, and visits Sweden, where award-winning new architecture has popped up as part of the ambitious project to link Malmo to the Oresund Bridge.
The Architecture the Railways Built sees railway expert and train enthusiast Tim Dunn exploring the stunning architecture that lines the railway network. He visits stations made up of simple stone buildings, decorative Victorian grandeur, art deco masterpieces and striking glass and concrete structures created over the last few years. But Tim doesn’t stop at stations. He’s been given a platform to explore any structure which owes its existence to the railway: viaducts, signal boxes, tunnels, pedestrian passages, workshops, railway hotels: as well as less obvious buildings like homes, swimming pools and Turkish baths.
