Almost everybody who has lived in Britain can probably be illustrated in some way or another with pictures from our files, even if it is just the village where they were born or the town in which they worked. This list is a random selection of people that most of you will recognise. Engineers and architects are disproportionately well represented because they tend to leave a more obvious mark on the landscape, and because they interest us!
