In the autumn of 1956, English engineer Walter Livingstone arrived in Calcutta to supervise maintenance on the iconic Howrah Bridge. What began as a professional assignment soon became a life-changing journey of friendship, discovery, and cultural exchange.

The Engineer's Diary: Howrah Bridge, Calcutta, 1956 presents Walter's vivid diary entries, found decades later, that capture both the technical challenges of bridge engineering and the intimate human connections that defined his stay. From evenings at the Oberoi Grand to meals in Bengali homes, from night inspections on the Howrah Bridge to celebrations of Durga Puja, Walter's story reveals a city alive with post-independence optimism.
