This summer, Warsaw’s artistic landscape has been enriched by the new effigy of William Heerlein Lindley. It is the the bust of W.H. Lindley sculptured by professor Jan Pastwa from Warsaw Fine Art University. He is also the author of the full sculpture of W.H. Lindley standing next to the bench dedicated to him at Warsaw Podzamcze Park. The bench has been designed by Dr Norbert Sarnecki with assistance of Anna Sarnecka.
The bust of W.H. Lindley stands in the latest addition to Warsaw Supply Company - water ozonation and water filtration on the activated carbon.
The relief depicting William Lindley-father on the pediment of the building is visible from Filtrowa Street but the bust of William Heerlein is not publicly accessible. It can be admired only by the guests of the Company.
We are very glad of the fact that W.H. Lindley is also commemorated in the new Water Supply Company building, but we regret that Professor Pastwa has not benefited from our iconography and gave his sculpture the profile (intuitively rightly) of the author of this note, who tirelessly do research into career and life of the Lindleys, the family of the great English Civil engineers...

We are pleased to announce that at the invitation of the organizers of the International Piano Festival Chopin in the heart of Warsaw, the Lindley Society “Societas Lindleiana” became the Honorary Patron of this most important cultural event of the capital this summer...
We are glad of this honor twice. First of all, for the year 2018 falls the 210th anniversary of birth of William Lindley, the founder of three-generation-family of civil engineers. The main celebrations of this event will take place in Free Hanseatic City of Hamburg, where he started his European career.
Secondly, the festival will take place in an extremely beautifully restored church of the Holy Trinity, in which: "in 1825, Fryderyk Chopin performed before the tsar Alexander I and received a ring with a diamond from him. The young composer sang in the parish choir and listened to sermons here" (writes Przemysław Lechowski, director of the festival).
For our Society the most important thing is that the organizers noticed and appreciated, apart from the obvious religious role of the church (God's Temple) and cultural role (superb acoustics), its modest secular role in the history of our city.
Preparations for triangulation works in Warsaw are illustrated in the page of the memorial album reproduced below by the collaborators of William H. Lindley on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the beginning of sewage and water supply works in our city. The central point of this page is the dome and cross of the Holy Trinity Church.
First concert by an Italian artist Leonora Armellini will take place on the 7th of July. |

Towarzystwo Lindleyowskie Societas LindleianaIn December members and friends of Societas Lindeiana gathered for the last meeting in 2011.
It has been a good year for The Lindley Association. We have celebrated 125 years of water supply in Warsaw (actually first running water in Warsaw homes). We have also taken part in the conference on president of Warsaw Starynkiewicz, a friend and supporter of the Lindleys . Both events have been documented by publication of books. We have shared with you all the details of those remarkable achievements of our Society.
The time has come to wish you all, Dear Friends,
MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUES NEW YEAR 2012 !
For those of you missing the December snow we onclose nostalgic picture from the Lindley times.
