Episode 2
Three-part documentary series telling the story of the Antrim Coast Road. This episode uncovers the monumental engineering achievement of William Bald.
This episode uncovers the monumental engineering achievement of William Bald, the brave and pioneering Scotsman who blasted the cliff faces of coastal Antrim into the sea and built a road that was once thought impossible to construct.
This unsung engineering hero has been largely forgotten by history, but his greatest work, the iconic Antrim Coast Road, lives on and has changed the lives of the people of The Glens forever.
Andrea Bald, William's great-great-great-granddaughter - and by coincidence, an engineer herself - travels to Antrim from her home in New Zealand to discover more about her elusive ancestor.
