Sarah Guppy: The Bed, the Bridge, The Truth

A fascinating one-woman show about Sarah Guppy, the first woman to patent a bridge and to formally design one. Sarah also patented a breakfast machine and an exercise bed, had 6 children and married Charlie Coote, her second husband, when she was 66 and he was 31. And of course she mentored young Brunel with that winning entry for the Clifton Bridge Competition.
