Sir James Henry Greathead in The City of London, UK
收藏资源简介:
James Henry Greathead (6 August 1844 – 21 October 1896) was a civil engineer renowned for his work on the London Underground railway. In January 1994 this bronze statue was erected outside the Bank station next to the Royal Exchange in the City of London. It was unveiled by the Lord Mayor of London and is positioned on a plinth which hides a ventilation shaft for the Underground. While Bank Station was being refurbished a section of the Barlow-Greathead shield was discovered in a passageway between the Underground and the Waterloo and City Railway. The section has been painted red and a brass plate erected as a further memorial to his achievements. This object is part of Scan The World.

詹姆斯·亨利·格里特黑德(James Henry Greathead,1844年8月6日—1896年10月21日)是一名土木工程师,以其在伦敦地铁(London Underground)工程领域的突出成就享誉业界。1994年1月,这座青铜雕像于伦敦城皇家交易所(Royal Exchange)旁的银行站(Bank station)外正式落成,由伦敦市长(Lord Mayor of London)揭幕。雕像安置于一处基座之上,该基座恰好遮蔽了地铁的一处通风井。在银行站翻新改造期间,工作人员在地铁与滑铁卢城市铁路(Waterloo and City Railway)之间的通道内发现了一段巴洛-格里特黑德盾构(Barlow-Greathead shield)构件,该段构件被涂为红色,并加装了一块黄铜铭牌,以进一步纪念他的成就。 该展品隶属于Scan The World项目。Scan The World是由MyMiniFactory推出的非营利性倡议,旨在打造覆盖全球的可3D打印雕塑、艺术品与地标数字档案库,供公众免费获取与使用。本项目为开源社区共建项目,若您身边有值得分享的物品并希望参与贡献,可发送邮件至stw@myminifactory.com了解具体参与方式。
