Thomas Telford
(1757-1834)

Died aged c. 77

Thomas Telford FRS, FRSE, (9 August 1757 – 2 September 1834) was a Scottish civil engineer. After establishing himself as an engineer of road and canal projects in Shropshire, he designed numerous infrastructure projects in his native Scotland, as well as harbours and tunnels. Such was his reputation as a prolific designer of highways and related bridges, he was dubbed The Colossus of Roads (a pun on the Colossus of Rhodes), and, reflecting his command of all types of civil engineering in the early 19th century, he was elected as the first President of the Institution of Civil Engineers, a post he held for 14 years until his death. The town of Telford in Shropshire was named after him.

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal was designated a site of Outstanding Universal Value and placed on the World Heritage List on 27th June, 2009. The 11 mile/18 kilometre World Heritage Site starts at Gledrid Bridge near Chirk and extends to the Horseshoe Falls above Llangollen, where water is taken from the River Dee to feed the canal system. It is the first World Heritage Site in the United Kingdom to straddle two Countries, Wales and England. The site was built between 1795 and 1808 and represents the work of two outstanding figures, Thomas Telford and William Jessop. Pontcysyllte Aqueduct is the highest navigable aqueduct ever built and is recognised internationally as a masterpiece of civil engineering.
