  • Agenda Item 6B
    Page 182 Agenda Item 6b REPORT TO: Urban Renewal Policy & Performance Board DATE: 18 June 2008 REPORTING OFFICER: Strategic Director, Environment SUBJECT: The ‘Heart of Halton’ Plaque Scheme WARDS: Borough wide 1.0 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT 1.1 Halton has many famous places, people and landmark events, all of which have in some way shaped Halton and the towns and the parishes within the borough. Currently no one record of the achievements, places or people has been brought together in one celebratory scheme. This report sets out proposals to establish such a scheme – ‘The Heart of Halton’ which would be similar to the Civic Trust’s Blue Plaque scheme. It will seek to identify and celebrate where Halton’s achievers, people and activities took place or lived. 2.0 RECOMMENDED: That 1) The Board comments on the proposal to establish the Heart of Halton scheme 2) Subject to the Board’s agreement, a further report be brought before the Board, setting out the costs and operational requirements for implementing the scheme 3.0 BACKGROUND 3.1 The towns of Runcorn and Widnes and the various borough Parishes have much to be proud of. From ground breaking scientific achievements to contributions to popular music and contemporary society being born or bred within Halton’s boundaries. 3.2 The achievements and innovation may have happened elsewhere had it not been for the way in which Halton became a centre of excellence for a number of companies and individuals who decided to build their businesses or homes in the area. Examples of Halton’s rich and varied heritage can be found in appendix 1 of this report.

  • Sir Robert Ludwig Mond. 273 Sir Robert Ludwig Mond, LL.D., F.R.S
    Sir Robert Ludwig Mond. 273 Sir Robert Ludwig Mond, LL.D., F.R.S. THE death of Sir Robert Ludwig Mond, which occurred in Paris on October 22, 1938, deprived this world of a man who was beloved by hosts of friends in many countries and who had devoted his life to the advancement and promotion of science, the well-being of humanity, and the cause of civilisation. At the International Congress of Chemistry held in Rome during May 1938, he was aptly described by Sir Robert Robinson as the "great ambassador of science and friendship amongst the nations." He was born on September 9, 1867, at Farnworth, near Widnes in Lancashire, the eldest son of the famous chemist and industrialist, Dr Ludwig Mond, F.R.S., and was educated at Cheltenham College, St Peter's College, Cambridge, the Zurich Polytechnikum, and the Universities of Glasgow and Edinburgh. After this very thorough training, he was chosen by his father to assist him in his scientific researches and his great industrial undertakings. In 1897 he became a director of Brunner, Mond & Company. He rendered Dr Ludwig Mond invaluable assistance in the investigation of the metal carbonyls and the establish- ment of the famous Mond nickel process, becoming a Director, and later Chairman, of the Mond Nickel Company. Robert Mond deserves a special place in science for his own researches on the metal carbonyls, which amongst other things led to the discovery of cobalt nitrosyl carbonyl. These investigations and many others were continued and extended in the laboratory which he set up in his country house at Combe Bank, near Sevenoaks in Kent.

  • Civil Engineers' Commemorative Plaques
    CIVIL ENGINEERS’ COMMEMORATIVE PLAQUES Biographical notes on the civil engineers whose names are commemorated on the façade of the Civil Engineering Building CIVIL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT IMPERIAL COLLEGE ------------ LONDON 1995 © Department of Civil Engineering Imperial College 1987 Revised 1995 FOREWORD The term civil engineer appeared for the first time in the Minutes of the Society of Civil Engineers, formed in 1771. In using this title, founder members of the society were recognising a new profession in Britain which was distinct from the much earlier profession of military engineer. John Smeaton, whose name appears among those on the plaques, was among the founder members. The Society, which still exists, was later renamed the Smeatonion Society of Civil Engineers after principal founder, John Smeaton, and was the precursor of, but distinct from, the Institution of Civil Engineers, which was formed in 1818, with Thomas Telford as its first President. The transformation of Britain from an agrarian to an industrial society during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was made possible only through the skill and ingenuity of civil engineers. From the beginning of the eighteenth century the quantity and range of engineering work gained momentum, encompassing river navigation schemes, drainage of marshes, work on docks and harbours, the building of bridges, and the surveying and laying out of a large canal system. The last involved tunnels and aqueducts on a hitherto undreamt of scale. As the Canal Age gave way to the development of the railway system during the nineteenth century, the challenges which engineers had to meet became even greater. The building of the railway track and bridges called for rapid advances in iron technology and an understanding of behaviour of both wrought and cast iron.

    Born 22 September 1791 Newington Butts, Surrey, England Died 25 August 1867 (aged 75) Hampton Court, Surrey, England Residence: England Fields Physics and Chemistry Known for Faraday's law of induction, Electrochemistry, Faraday effect, Faraday cage, Faraday constant, Faraday cup Faraday's laws of electrolysis, Faraday paradox, Faraday rotator Faraday-efficiency effect, Faraday wave, Faraday wheel, Lines of force Influenced by: Humphry Davy , William Thomas Brande Notable awards Royal Medal (1835 & 1846) Religious stance Sandemanian Michael Faraday was an English chemist and physicist (or natural philosopher, in the terminology of the time) who contributed to the fields of electromagnetism and electrochemistry. Faraday studied the magnetic field around a conductor carrying a DC electric current, and established the basis for the magnetic field concept in physics. He discovered electromagnetic induction, diamagnetism, and laws of electrolysis. He established that magnetism could affect rays of light and that there was an underlying relationship between the two phenomena. His inventions of electromagnetic rotary devices formed the foundation of electric motor technology, and it was largely due to his efforts that electricity became viable for use in technology. As a chemist, Faraday discovered benzene, investigated the clathrate hydrate of chlorine, invented an early form of the bunsen burner and the system of oxidation numbers, and popularized terminology such as anode, cathode, electrode, and ion. Although Faraday received little formal education and knew little of higher mathematics, such as calculus, he was one of the most influential scientists in history. Some historians of science refer to him as the best experimentalist in the history of science.
