		The rest are the retired po-faced worthies of the past suffering the unwanted affection of pigeons.
		It might seem rather tucked-away in the Victoria Embankment Gardens now, but in the 1880s the Embankment was a plush site following Bazalgette's massive reclamation works along the Thames finished in 1870.
		This bronze statue was unveiled on May 7th 1884 in token of the 80th anniversary of the British and Foreign Bible Society, and also being the 400th anniversary of 1484, the date that the bronze plaque beneath claims for Tyndale's birth.

		This narrow strip of public park by the Thames was created in the late-19th century with the construction of the Embankment.
		The water gate was part of York House, which once stood on the site, the home to the Archbishops of York, before becoming the Duke's residence.
		Although the water gate is in its original position, because of the embankment of the Thames, it is now 330 feet from the edge of the river.

	Victorian Wages for Skilled and Unskilled Labor: The Example of Construction Workers on the Thames Embankment (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		For the first section of the Victoria Embankment, the MBW [Metropolitan Board of Works] specified that bricklayers, masons, carpenters, and smiths should be paid 6s.
		If an engineer worked a ten-hour day (and not the eleven-and-a-half-hour day common among builders before the 1860 strikes) six days a week, with the usual lapses for illness or weather, he could earn about £110 per year, equalling the wages of a young civil engineering clerk of the white-collar variety.
		Imagine the trials of a newly minted "clerk of the works" sent out by the MBW to supervise a sewer or Embankment construction site, when he encountered his unionized and experienced "engineer" counterpart, who not only knew more about the practice of construction than he did, but earned higher wages.

		Running under the Victoria Embankment run one of London's main sewers alongside a part of the underground Circle Line.
		His solution was to run the largest sewers along the banks of the Thames and then to cover them over to creat the Embankment.
		This solved another problem too because at the same time the city was starting to build its underground railway system.
