Abstract
The little-known engineer, Frederick Eastment Cooper (1841–1933), served as resident engineer on three of the world's most significant engineering projects, namely the southern section of London's Circle Line, the world's first underground railway, which he supervised early in his career, the Firth of Forth Railway Bridge, which, completed in 1890, was an equally innovative project, and finally the Central Line, one of the world's earliest tunnelled tube railways. In the 1870s he was also involved with the transportation of Cleopatra's Needle from Egypt to London.
