Henry Marc Brunel (27 June 1842 – 7 October 1903) was an English civil engineer and the son of engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and grandson of civil engineer Marc Isambard Brunel.
Henry Marc Brunel was born in
Sir John Hawkshaw so the chains are now at Clifton Suspension Bridge. He conducted initial surveys for a Channel Tunnel.[1] He developed an interest in acting as a hobby, becoming a member of the Scientific and Amateur Dramatic Societies, and also contributed to his brother's biography of their father.[2]
Henry is noted for a partnership from 1878 with Sir
Barry in south Wales and the Creagan Bridge, a railway bridge over the narrows of Loch Creran in Scotland (jointly credited to Wolfe Barry, Brunel and E.M. Crutwell). Sir Alexander Gibb
was a pupil of Brunel and Wolfe Barry in 1895.
He also designed the
Lake Nyasa
in Africa, where it served for more than one hundred years as a mission and hospital clinic.
Brunel is buried with his father, grandfather, and other family members at Kensal Green Cemetery in London.
