Manager at the De Vere Belfry, and his team for preparing the Brabazon course for what must rank as one of the best Ryder Cup matches, not to say sporting occasions full stop, in quite some time. Bevan set up the course exactly how home team Captain, Sam Torrance, wanted it, and to that end can take some credit for the magnificent European victory. And the SHEFFIELD SECTION icing on the cake was that I didn't hear any criticism of the conditions from Curtis Strange's American team, which is even more of a tribute to Bevan. Second on the list is Murray Long, Head Greenkeeper, at Coombe Hill GC, and the 2002 Toro Student Greenkeeper of the Year winner.

  • William Hazledine, Shropshire Ironmaster and Millwright
    WILLIAM HAZLEDINE, SHROPSHIRE IRONMASTER AND MILLWRIGHT: A RECONSTRUCTION OF HIS LIFE, AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF ENGINEERING, 1780 - 1840 by ANDREW PATTISON A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MASTER OF PHILOSOPHY Ironbridge Institute Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity, College of Arts and Law, University of Birmingham October 2011 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT The name of William Hazledine (1763 – 1840) is almost unknown, even to industrial historians. This is surprising, since he provided the ironwork for five world ‘firsts’, and he was described at the time of his death as ‘the first [foremost] practical man in Europe’. The five structures are Ditherington Flax Mill, Shrewsbury (the first iron- framed building in the world), Pontcysyllte Aqueduct (still one of the longest and highest in Britain), lock gates on the Caledonian Canal, a new genre of cast-iron arch bridges, and Menai Suspension Bridge. This thesis aims to rediscover Hazledine’s life and work, and place it in the context of social and industrial history. It particularly concentrates on the development of cast iron technology in Shropshire, which has been less studied than the work of earlier ironmasters, such as the Darbys and John Wilkinson.
