The Anonymous Widower

The Biggest Engineering Event In The UK For Decades

In the 1970s, I was doing a small project management consultancy job at Frederick Snow and Partners.

They had developed a plan to barrage the River Severn and use the tides to generate about ten percent of the UK’s required electricity.

Harold Wilson’s government turned the idea down, as they felt large coal-fired power stations like Drax and Fiddlers Ferry were the future.

I was shown the plan for the River Severn and thought it had merit and still believe that one day it will be built.

Starting at the beginning of October, Liverpool will be showing their plan for the world’s largest tidal barrier.

These are the dates.
