Once you've walked across the marvelous bridge itself, come here, just five minutes walk away, to learn all about its chequered history. Creating something so beautiful was a struggle and there were plenty of set-backs and arguments before Brunel's favorite project - he called it "My first child, my darling" - was finally completed, sadly six years after his death. There's a superb scale model, a large selection of photographic archives, showing the stages of construction of this great engineering project until it opened in 1864, plus memorabilia from the time. You can also learn about its current maintenance, how it's illuminated and how it has been adapted for modern commuter traffic. There is also a shop selling souvenirs, books, postcards and prints.
