		GREATHEAD, JAMES HENRY (1844–1896), British engineer, was born at Grahamstown, Cape Colony, on the 6th of August 1844.
		At this juncture Greathead came forward and offered to take up the contract; and he successfully carried it through in 1869 without finding any necessity to resort to the use of compressed air, which Barlow in 1867 had suggested might be employed in water-bearing strata.
		Greathead was engaged in two-other important under-ground lines in London-the Waterloo and City and the Central London.

	James Henry Greathead - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Henry Greathead (6 August 1844 - 21 October 1896) was an engineer renowned for his work on the London Underground.
		Today Greathead is particularly remembered for his pioneering work in relation to tunnelling shield techniques, in which he greatly improved the shield developed by Marc Isambard Brunel in 1818 for the construction of the Thames Tunnel.
		Greathead was Chief Engineer on the City and South London Railway (now part of the Northern Line, opened in 1890), and, shortly before his death in Streatham, began work on the Central Line (opened 1900) with Sir Benjamin Baker.

	William Henry Barlow - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William Henry Barlow (1812-1902) was an English civil engineer of the 19th century, particularly associated with railway engineering projects.
		Born in Charlton in south-east London, the son of an engineer and mathematician (Professor Peter Barlow, who taught at the Royal Military Academy in Woolwich), William Barlow grew up close to Woolwich Dockyard and his formative years as an engineer were spent studying with his father and working in the Dockyard’s machinery department.
		His brother Peter W. Barlow was also a noted engineer, whose major contributions included new developments in tunnelling shields in conjunction with James Henry Greathead – a pupil of William Barlow’s during the late 1860s.

	Railways Under London
		Greathead's shield was originally driven forward by means of screw-jacks which pressed against the flanges of the iron lining.
		The invention, gradual evolution and improvement of Greathead's shield made possible the construction on a large scale of London's network of tube railways, which have extended their lines to-day to most of the outlying suburbs of the Metropolis.
		Thus the skin remains temporarily between the iron lining and the earth until the shield moves on again, and the empty space is filled with liquid cement injected through holes in the segments.

		Greathead was born in South Africa in 1844, the grandson of a British settler.
		In 1868, Greathead tendered for the Tower Subway, using a cylindrical shield (which was not patented) — the earliest modular shield which was moved as a single piece by screw jacks.
		Greathead also worked on the Liverpool Overhead Railway (nicknamed ‘the Docker’s Umbrella’) — another world first — which opened in 1893; and the Blackwall Tunnel, built with what was at the time the largest shield in the world, which was completed in 1896 and opened in May 1897.

	Tunnelling shield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Probably the most crucial innovation of Barlow's design was that it had a circular cross-section (unlike Brunel's, which was of rectangular cross-section), which at once made it simpler in construction and better able to support the weight of the surrounding soil.
		The Barlow design was enlarged and further improved by James Henry Greathead for the construction of the City and South London Railway (today part of London Underground's Northern Line) in 1884.
		In early shield tunneling, the shield functioned as a way to protect manual labourers who performed the digging, and moved the shield forward, progressively replacing it with pre-built sections of tunnel wall.

		The Giants have been carried in the annual Lord Mayors show since the reign of Henry V. The originals carved by Richard Saunders in 1708 took the place of much older wickerwork figures, which used to be carried in City pageants, "to make the people wonder".
		The Saunders statues were destroyed in The Blitz but have been faithfully replaced with a pair carved in limewood by David Evans in 1954.
		The interior is a mix of the old and the new - the wood fittings by Grinling Gibbons sit alongside the central altar carved from one piece of of stone by Henry Moore, our finest twentieth century sculpturer.
