Although Telford may have destroyed his own plans and documentation I would have thought his financial backers (i.e - Tobin & Laird) would have received copies of these plans and costings, and that perhaps (somewhere in the Tobin or Laird family archives) some of these records might still exist.

I doubt Tobin and Laird had that kind of money, guessing about 90-100 million in today's terms, i wonder if they were knocking on Parliaments door.

I suppose that, regardless of the precise source of financial backing, it would have almost certainly required an Act of Parliament to permit such a scheme to progress. If the likes of Laird or Tobin did not have copies of the documentation then it could well be that details were submitted in proposals put before Parliament.
