Abstract
In this paper, the authors describe the industrial heritages in the cities, which are extended along Brunel's railways, in the South-West of England. The heritages were shown in a diorama for the railways on the three dimensional map. The Great Western Railway, from the London Paddington station to the Bristol Temple Mead station, was first established broad-gauge railway directed by Brunel. The both stations are well known as heritages of Brunel. Swindon city developed and extended as the GWR's railway works grew. The discussions on the industrial heritages of Brunel railways have been done from the view points of museology, urban planning, and history of technology. The two museums of Swindon and Didcot have been discussed.
