Chisel Marks

The chisel marks are still on the stone. The names of the men who made them mostly aren't.

Chisel Marks is a documentary channel about how Britain was built — the canals, railways, viaducts, tunnels, sewers and lighthouses of the Georgian and Victorian age, and the navvies and masons who built them with pick, shovel and black powder, and later with steam.

In every documentary:
- The build — the scale, the tools, the numbers
- The people — real names, traced through parish registers, census returns, inquests and old newspapers
- The cost — shanty towns, accidents, graves
- What's left — memorials, marks and places across Britain you can still visit

From Ribblehead Viaduct and Box Tunnel to Bazalgette's sewers and Telford's aqueduct in the sky.

If you believe the men who built Britain deserve to be remembered, subscribe — and help us put their names back on the record.
