On May 22, 2020, in the middle of the Coronavirus pandemic, Lindley Association commemorates the 120th anniversary of the death of William Lindley, the designer of Warsaw's sewage system and waterworks.
W. Lindley died on May 22, 1900, in his own home at 74 Shooters Hill Road in
London's Blackheath. He was less than 92 years old. The cause of death was
general age-related health problems and heart failure. In the last
moments of his life, he was accompanied by his eldest son, Sir William
Heerlein Lindley, continuator of his father's works, and his sister Julia.
The funeral took place three days later. He was buried at Charlton Cemetery in
London's Greenwich.

William Lindley Snr visited Warsaw only once, in
June 1876, at the invitation of Governor-General Paweł Kotzebue and the temporary
President of Warsaw, general Sokrates Starynkiewicz. After a few days of
exploration of the city, he agreed to draw up a sewage and water supply project for
Warsaw. The project was published in 1879 when William Lindley retired at the
age of 71.
The contract with the city to run this great municipal investment was signed by his son, William H. Lindley. In 1881-1917 he was the main engineer for the construction of sewage and water supply in our city.

Projekt rzeźby naturalnej wielkości Williama Heerleina Lindleya zapatrzonego w fontannę (w bezpośrednim sąsiedztwie ławeczki) siedzącego na ławeczce (choć może niech on stoi oparty o te ławeczkę?). Ławeczka w skali 1:1 wpisana byłaby w ciąg ławek miejskich. Konkurs ogłoszony został 28 stycznia 2011 roku. JESTEŚMY ZA!!!
Może taka, jak ta w Łodzi (Biuro Budowy Wodociągów i Kanalizacji)?
