Its nice to see Google have remembered Richard Trevithick's Birthday to-day.A very important yet underated man in our countries history I reckon,mind you he was his own worst enemy at times and died almost in anounimity.If you have the time its worth digging into his history,an amazing life we made a point of going to his part of Cornwall last year and a fascinating trip around his Museum.Along with Brunel a top man in his times.P.
