Life and Times of Sir Joseph Paxton
15 Feb 12am
Joseph Paxton was one of the most extraordinary Victorians, born into poverty but becoming friend of queens, dukes, princes, emperors and prime ministers. He created some of the most iconic buildings of the era, launched magazines and a newspaper, ran railway companies, became an MP, solved London's sewage problems and kept soldiers alive in the Crimea War, as well as being one of the world's leading gardeners. No wonder he was called the busiest man in England.
