  • 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.

  • Telford's Mythe Bridge at Bushley
    The Bridge. Until the 19th century access from Bushley and it's environs to Tewkesbury, the other side of the River Severn, was only available via two ancient ferry crossings at Upper and Lower Lode. One took travellers to Forthampton Court and the other to Pull Court in Bushley and then onwards to T H E M Y T H E B R I D G E. Ledbury. The nearest bridge over the Severn was at Upton, which was the lowest point of the river that it was bridged at that time. But as advances in bridge design, and the increasing use of cast iron, Thomas Telford’s iron masterpiece over the River Severn were making larger spans more feasible a bridge crossing at Tewkesbury was considered to be viable and the idea was reviewed in 1816 and 1818. John Rennie, from London, was the first in Bushley. engineer to investigate a possible site for a new bridge and he selected a location halfway between the two ferry crossings to be connected to Tewkesbury via a causeway across the Ham. In 1823 the ‘Tewkesbury Severn Bridge and Turnpikes Trust' was set up by Act of Parliament and For the construction of the bridge local supporters raised £18,600, the two Tewkesbury MPs contributing £1,000 each. General Dowdeswell of Pull Court, who originally objected the project as he did not want his constituents in Tewkesbury (when he was MP) being able to access his home and bother him, sold his ferry crossing at Upper Lode for £1,650, contributing £500.

    AGENDA ITEM NO: 10 BRISTOL CITY COUNCIL DOWNS COMMITTEE 18 November 2013 Report of: Dr Adrienn Tomor, UWE Title: Pedestrian Bridge over the Bridge Valley Road Officer Presenting Report: Dr Adrienn Tomor, UWE Contact: Adrienn Tomor <[email protected]> RECOMMENDATION Confirmation is sought if the Downs Committee would support a stone pedestrian bridge over Bridge Valley Road in principal. Summary Background: - Need for a safe pedestrian link at the top of Bridge Valley Rd has been identified (Management Plan, Conservation Area Enhancement Statements) - The crossing has been identified as ‘dangerous’ (Downs Committee Traffic Subgroup Report March 2013) - Due to the complexity of the junction and dangerous crossing at road level, a pedestrian bridge is proposed. The enclosed proposal refers to a classical stone pedestrian bridge, for which pre- application enquiry has been submitted to Bristol City Council. No alternative proposal is available for the location. Benefits for the proposed stone bridge that would NOT exist for any other bridge type: - 300+ years life expectancy - minimal, low-cost maintenance during the life of the bridge - show-case example of a highly sustainable project for Bristol ‘European Green Capital for 2015’ Community benefits: - unique apprenticeship, training and educational programmes (e.g. stonemasonry) - novel career opportunities for young people - re-learning historical crafts / skills - wide range of community engagement opportunities - wide range of Widening Participation opportunities - enhancing local tourism - range of post-construction educational resources and income generation opportunities Cost of the proposed stone bridge is likely to be similar to an average concrete or steel bridge. Funding would be sought from a range of funding resources (e.g.
