Hey Blackpool Tower, you don't look a day over 199 🎂 Happy 200th birthday to our steel cousin on the coast. The Tower first opened on 14 May 1894 The viaduct's construction might seem pretty familiar to anyone who's visited the tower. That's because both these iconic structures were worked on by the same engineering company, Heenan and Froude. #LocalHistory #IndustrialHistory #VictorianEngineering #Nature #Manchester #UrbanGardening #UrbanGarden #UrbanGreenSpace #NationalTrust #EveryoneNeedsNature 🌱🌱🌱 Castlefield Viaduct is a temporary urban green space created by the National Trust.

Going underground in Newcastle’s Victoria Tunnel. The tunnel, which runs beneath the city for a couple of miles, was built in the 19th Century to transport coal from Leazes Main Colliery to the River Tyne. It was later used as an air-raid shelter. #newcastle #newcastleupontyne #newcastlegateshead #newcastlequayside #ouseburn #spitaltongues #ouseburnvalley #victoriatunnel #victoriatunneltour #underground #tunnel #tunneltour #victorian #coalmine #wagonway #airraidshelter #architecture #archaeology #archeology #archeologylovers #archaeologylovers #industrial #industrialarchitecture #industrialarchaeology #industrialarcheology #engineering #victorianengineering #urban #urbanarchitecture #urbanarchaeology

These are recent photos from Crossness Pumping Station, London SE2. This Victorian masterpiece of engineering and architecture was built by Sir Joseph Bazalgette to deal with London's sewage. The pumping station opened in 1865 and was operational until the 1950s. This extraordinary 19th-century complex of buildings has now been restored by enthusiastic volunteers. You can visit it too. #crossness #london #crossnesspumpingstation #victorian #engineering #londonhistory #britishhistory #victorianera #victorianbuilding #victorianengineering #restoration #sirjosephbazalgette #architecture #victorianarchitecture #uk #british #uae #dubai #britshexpats #britishexpatsuae #britishexpatsgcc #britishexpatsdubai

- Albert Embankment SE1 170 years after Albert Embankment was built to create space for Joseph Bazalgette’s world first urban sewer system, it will finally get its first intercepting sewer in 2025 when Tideway opens. South London was still rural Surrey in his day but this is still a raw deal over raw sewage and doesn’t bode well for a timeframe on the Bakerloo Line Extension… Bazalgette’s sewers linked 1100 miles of ceramic pipes to 82 miles of intercepting sewers. These are like churches to sanitation where the first steps of treating sewage occurs and they prevent excess overflows into the Thames. The rest of South London has these intercepting sewers but Albert Embankment is home to the outflow of the River Effra which combines with the Camberwell Storm Overflow and simply cascades straight in the river here. This outflow alone dumps roughly 300,000 tonnes of raw sewage a year in the Thames. Tideway is a 25 kilometre long super sewer that runs under the Thames protecting the city to a population of 35 million. They have factored in that people’s use of wipes and other non flushables is equivalent to the system dealing with two extra people. Albert Embankment will also get three new public gardens of reclaimed land in the river and some beautiful artwork celebrating the Effra and its industrial history. You are encouraged to keep an eye out for lions. If you know the riverside this makes sense. If you flush wet wipes, it might just be their next policy for you… . . . . . #southlondontoday #SE1 #albertembankment #supersewer #rivereffra #riverthames #riverside #tideway #victorianlondon #victorianengineering #bazalgette #hiddenlondon #hiddencitylondon #deepdeepdown #moderndesign #reallondon #brownfield #londonhistory #londonhiddenwalks #thamespath

Had the honour and pleasure of meeting up with former Vaux Breweries MD Frank Nicholson yesterday. Hadn’t seen Frank since the mid 90’s when Vaux were sponsors at Roker Park. All the memories came flooding back, I thoroughly enjoyed our chat and showing him around the pump house. #vaux #vauxbreweries #sunderland #franknicholson #history #sunderlandhistory #daltonoldpumphouse #daltonoldpumphousewedding #venue #memories #rokerpark #thomashawksley #victorian #victorianengineering #victorianarchitecture #england #seaham

When you remember from your childhood days where, in all the bushes and trees, to find a bit of Victorian structural engineering. This is the ventilation shaft above the big tunnel(entrance still accessible along the old line) along the Leicester branch of the Great Northern Line aka the "Holiday Line" that used to take holiday makers to Skeggy. I have a certain relative who used work on the old steam trains who probably knows exactly where I'm standing #steamtrain #victorianengineering

📍Leaderfoot Viaduct, Melrose, TD6 9DB 🌟Only 23 miles from @gordonarmsrestaurantwithrooms 📸Yesterday, we had the incredible opportunity to visit the Berwickshire Viaduct, also known as the Leaderfoot Viaduct. This historic railway bridge 🛤️🚂, dating back to the mid-19th century, is a testament to Victorian engineering prowess. Its five impressive arches spanning the River Tweed near Melrose left us in awe. Despite no longer serving railway traffic, it remains a notable landmark in the Scottish Borders. 🤩The experience was truly breathtaking, with its combination of engineering marvel and picturesque beauty. #hiddenlocaltreasures #localgems #historicscotland #historiclocation🏞 #BerwickshireViaduct #VictorianEngineering #TimelessBeauty #historicrailway #historicbridge #melrose #gordonarmsrestaurantwithrooms #gordonarmsyarrow #localpride #discoverscottishborders #scotkandstartshere #brynjoneschef #visitscottishborders #yarrowvalley #localheritage #scottishborders #travel #oldmoney #viaduct #victorianengineering #location

A view looking down into The Park ‘bowl’ from Newcastle Drive, on top of The Park Tunnel. This is the return view of the last post. In a few weeks time there will be less of a view as the leaves return to the trees. The Park Tunnel was commissioned to allow horse-drawn carriages from Derby Road into the Estate before the entrances from Lenton Sands (The Walton’s/North Road/Derby Road) and Castle Boulevard had been created (or indeed before Castle Boulevard had been built). Designed by Nottingham architect TC Hine, the tunnel was completed on 11 May 1855. On opening, it was discovered that the gradient of the road was 1 in 12 rather than the planned 1in 14 and was too steep for horse-drawn carriages, defeating the object of its construction. With the creation of the other entrances to The Park the tunnel fell into disuse and after many years of becoming overgrown and used for vehicle storage, it was reinstated in the 90’s as the dramatic pedestrian route it is today. #sping2024 #sunsets #clearskies #thepark #cityviews #Nottingham #nottinghamparkestate #tunnel #victorianengineering #tchine #theparkestate #nottinghamparkestate #theparkestatenottingham #thepark #walknotts #wonder #wonderofnottingham

Something a bit different today. Still big old lumps of oily iron though 😂. A few shots of the enormous steam driven beam engines at Crossness. Built by James Watt & Co. for Sir Joseph Bazalgette's new pumping station - part of the redevelopment of the London sewerage system in the 1860s in an attempt to prevent the reoccurrence of the Great Stink of 1858. One engine is fully restored and can be seen up and running. Only another three to go. Think they're going to need a bit more paint! #crossnesspumpingstation #crossness #crossnessengines #crossnessenginestrust #bazalgette #josephbazalgette #jameswatt #sirjosephbazalgette #engineering #victorian #victorianengineering #london #riverthames #thames #thamespath #londonhistory #abbeywood #thamesmead #sewersofinstagram #thegreatstink #steamengine #beamengine #steamengines

The beautiful, architectural wonderment that is Stratford International Station, London. 🤢 The amazing Victorian engineers with the tall black hats must be spinning in their graves. When you’re next in London at one of the old railway stations like Paddington, pause, look around you and look up at the beautiful architecture and ironwork they produced, that is still standing after 100+ years. #whathappened #stratfordinternational #concretemonstrosity #victorianengineering

“Stepping back in time with this hidden gem in Westminster! 🏙️ Right next to this spot is the last sewer gas destructor lamp in the city, a relic from the Victorian era. Installed in 1870 and associated with the monumental works of Sir Joseph Bazalgette, this cast iron ornamental lamp stand is a testament to ingenious Victorian engineering. It continues to burn off residual biogas from the sewers below, just as it did over a century ago. It’s amazing to find pieces of history still functioning in the heart of London. #HiddenHistory #WestminsterWonders #VictorianEngineering
