Smeaton of Austhorpe

Jacki and Bob Lawrence of the East Leeds History & Archaeology Society present an online presentation looking at the personal and professional life of local man John Smeaton, the Father of Civil Engineering. Known mainly for designing and building the Eddystone lighthouse, a monolithic achievement in its time, we also look at many of his other works including bridges, canals and other types of infrastructure. We discuss his legacy which has resonated even into the 21st century, being recognized by NASA. Beginning with his childhood interests at Austhorpe, we examine how his achievements inspired many of the later 19th century engineers, and helped shape the Industrial Revolution. This talk is being held to mark the 300th anniversary of Smeaton's birth
