User:Charles Dawson/Jolliffe & Banks

Jolliffe & Banks were contractors who carried out many public works under famous engineers during a very short time at the beginning of the 19th century, roughly between 1800 and 1830. What they did had an enormous impact on people's lives without their being aware of it: for example think of all those who have walked London's bridges or sailed on steamers of the General Steam Navigation Company. The best introdution to their work is an article by Henry Winram Dickinson, Vice-President of the Newcomen Society read at the Science Museum on 14 October 1931.
