Traffic and Politics: The Construction and Management of Rochester Bridge, Ad 43-1993 (Kent History Project, Vol 1) - Hardcover
Synopsis
Identifiable remains of Rochester bridge date from the Roman occupation and the records of the bridge administration span close on 200 years of economic and social change. The fortunes of the successive crossings, culminating in the Medway Tunnel project of the 1990s, reflect developments in regional and national affairs. The remarkable surviving archive of the bridge administration provides detail on practical issues such as maintainance and financial management, as well as offering a window on the personalities involved in the history of the bridge. Each of the six studies that make up thisbook focuses on a distinct period setting the history of this ancient river crossing in the wider national context of economic and social -and inevitably political - history.NIGEL YATES was County Archivist of Kent 1980-90, and is currently Consultant Historian to Kent County Council and General Editor of the Kent History Project.JAMES M. GIBSONis archivist for the Rochester Bridge Trust. He previously lectured in English at Houghton College, New York.NICHOLAS P. BROOKS, R.H. BRITNELL, JAMES M. GIBSON, DAVID ORMROD,JAMES PRESTON, P.F.

Review
A story of great local interest (and) a series of illustrations both of changes in civil engineering and of the working of English local politics...also a wonderful illustration of the slow development of ideas of legal incorporation. May the Kent History Project produce more work of this standard. ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW Detailed insights into the importance, for all those concerned with transport interests - and to regional historians generally - how the history of bridges elsewhere may, and should, be attempted... well illustrated by diagrams and photographs...strongly recommended. JOURNAL OF TRANSPORT HISTORY
