Join us for an evening with Jeremy Batch.

What connects Limehouse Marina, Tower Bridge, the USS Enterprise, a National Trust property in Northumberland, the Anderton Lift, Barton Swing Aqueduct and a host of other engineering developments? They all made use of hydraulic machinery conceived by Blaise Pascal and later developed, amongst others, by Sir William Armstrong. One of his hydraulic accumulator towers in Limehouse Basin, the best surviving example in Britain, once powered the cranes, capstans, lock gates and bridges of the Regents Canal Dock.

Don’t be put off by the title! Jeremy’s presentations are unmissable and his talk on the power of water and how it was harnessed in the service of man will be informative, entertaining and full of excellent graphics. By public demand Jeremy gets invited back every year to present his latest production.
