Early life and education
Henry Marc Brunel, known as Henry, was born in Westminster, London, on 27 June 1842, the second son of the celebrated engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel and Elizabeth Mary Horsley.
Brunel is noted for a partnership from 1878 with Sir John Wolfe Barry, with whom he designed the Blackfriars Railway Bridge and (after Sir Horace Jones died) Tower Bridge over the River Thames in central London. The profit share in the partnership demonstrated Barry's leadership of the new firm with Brunel being limited to 10% of the partnership's net profit up to a gross income of £4,500 per annum. He is buried with his father, grandfather, and other family members at Kensal Green Cemetery in London.
Brunel neither married nor had children and was the last of the Brunel engineering dynasty.
