Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859)
This statue of the great engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, which was originally presented to Bristol by the Bristol and West Building Society, was created by John Doubleday and first unveiled in the city on 26th May 1982.
It was then moved from its original site at Broad Quay in 2006, the bicentenary of Brunel’s birth and was most recently located outside the modern offices of Osborne Clarke in Temple Quay.
Not only does the statue now front Brunel’s iconic 1840 station building at Bristol Temple Meads, but it is bookended by another statue of Brunel, by the same artist, located at Paddington Station at the Eastern end of his great railway.
The statue commemorates the engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel (1806-1859), who was the chief engineer of the Great Western Railway, designing the railway between Bristol and London (Paddington Station), bridges and other buildings. The statue is located in front of Bristol Temple Meads railway station, the largest and oldest railway station in Bristol, which was also designed by Brunel.
The statue was made by John Doubleday and was inaugurated in 1982.
