ICE is to host an exhibition in honour of the 250th anniversary of John Rennie's birth.
Save the date
The exhibition will celebrate the life, works and many accomplishments of this engineering legend. It will be held at One Great George Street in London from 29 July - 31 August and will be free to attend.
Celebrating 250 years
John Rennie was one of the leading civil engineers of the early nineteenth century, following John Smeaton and William Jessop and a contemporary of Thomas Telford. He is not as well known today as he ought to be, and it is hoped that this exhibition will contribute to a greater awareness of his achievement.
Commemorative memorabilia will be available to purchase from the ICE bookshop and online. Details to follow in next month’s newsletter.
