In 2018 the Institution of Civil Engineers in London celebrated two hundred years of activity

The Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) is one of the world's most respected professional engineering institutions and has attracted some of history’s most famous and influential civil engineers Throughout 2018, ICE celebrated its 200th anniversary, and hosted number of activities to show how civil engineering has transformed people’s lives and is safeguarding the future for their families.


Five members of the Lindley family were members of this prestigious institution. William Lindley joined the Institution of Civil Engineers in 1842, William Heerlein joined ICE in 1878, Robert Searles in 1881 and Joseph Lindley in 1899. In the 20th  century Marie Lindley, the last civil engineer in the family, became in 1953 Associated Member and in 1972 she was the second woman in history of ICE  to receive full Fellowship.


Short history of ICE


From humble beginnings in 1818, a small group of young engineers met in a London coffee shop and founded ICE, the world’s first professional engineering body. ICE asked Thomas Telford to become its first President in 1820. His appointment not only gave ICE a major boost – he designed and built all types of infrastructure and brought many new members in – but also played a huge part in shaping the ICE of today.


Since then, ICE has become home to many of history's greatest engineers and 200 years later, has grown to more than 92,000 members in more than 150 countries around the world.
