	The Clifton Suspension Bridge is also associated with the English engineer and inventor, Sarah Guppy (5 November 1770 – 24 August 1852). As the first woman to patent a chain bridge, Guppy came up with her version in 1811. Guppy's design was never executed and is not thought to have had any impact on Brunel's plans for the Clifton Suspension Bridge. However, her son, Thomas Guppy, did work with Brunel on the SS Great Britain and other projects.
