At the end of March 2009 The Warsaw Surveying Company WPG S.A. took place an important exhibition about Warsaw „Hoppe, Lindley, WPG, Warsaw Cartography 1641-2009”. The exhibition was organized by The Warsaw Surveying Company WPG in cooperation with the State Archive of City of Warsaw (APW).
Author of the exhibtion was Paweł Weszpiński, member of Board of our Societas
Lindleiana, which administers and takes care of the so called Lindley plans in
the archive. The exhibition was
dedicated to the 150 anniversary of birth of Josepha Lindley, the younest of
three Lindley brothers.
The exhibition reminded Young generation that the waterworks and sewage systems as well as modern surveying of the city is to thank family of English civil engineers, father William Lindley (1808-1900), and sons Sir William Heerlein Lindley (1853-1917), Robert Searls (1854 – 1925) and Joseph (1859-1906).
