Tube Museum [Museum of Lodz Sewer]

This is industrial tourism at its best, allowing visitors to Łódź to penetrate the earths core and visit the sewers that lie below.





The entrance to the sewer



Designed by William Heerlein Lindley, and put into action by Stefan Skrzywin, this red brick subterranean reservoir was originally opened in 1926, serving the original purpose to clean and purify the sewage produced by the natives. Running a length of 142 metres, and holding a capacity of 300,000 litres of water, it was finally shut down in the 1970s and allowed to gather rats and damp in equal measure.


Reopened on May 28, 2008 the Dętka has now been fully restored, with your guided tour taking you past a catalogue of photographs and documents put together by Robert Kuśmirowski. Claustrophobics and other assorted weaklings should note the tunnel is 1.5 metres wide and 1.87 metres in height.



Ticket office Pl. Wolności 2, Admission 5/3zł.

William Lindley and William H. Lindley got Blue Plaque in London

On the 22nd of  April 2015 in Blackheath (London Borough of Greenwich) was unveiled a plaque funded by English Heritage Blue Plaques, dedicated to William Lindley and his eldest son, William Heerlein.




 

In this way, we have completed long-lasting process to bring to the Pantheon of those with outstanding imerits for the British Empire, two engineers, natives of the County of Yorkshire, the pioneers of hygiene, who had worked  most of their life in the three empires-Austro-Hungarian, German, and Russian.


William Lindley and William Heerlein Lindley have dedicated many years to the design and construction of water and sanitation in the cities of the Kingdom of Poland. Outside Warsaw it was also Modlin, Radom and Łódź (the water supply system in Łódź was built according to the project of  W.H. Lindley and completed after World War I, city of Radom received a beautiful but unrealized project). Warsaw had received also excellent survey and map of the city and Włocławek partial drains.


                              


The unveiling was followed by four guest speakers:  Mike Chrimes director of engineering policy and innovation at ICE, Dr Ortwin Pelc from the Hamburg Museum, William the Fifth (Bill) Lindley and Professor Ryszard Żelichowski, chair of the Lindley Society.

O nas



UWAGA: 

Od 2022 roku TOWARZYSTWO LINDLEYOWSKIE działa już w nowej formule!


Pandemia Covid-19 praktycznie od dwóch lat uniemożliwia kontakty społeczne i prowadzenie aktywności w dotychczasowej formule. W tej sytuacji Zarząd Główny Towarzystwa Lindleyowskiego „Societas Lindleiana” (TL„SL”) podjął decyzję o rozwiązaniu organizacji.


W mniej  formalnej formie i zachowując drugi człon dotychczasowej nazwy – „Societas Lindleiana” (SL) – kontynuowana będzie realizacja założonych w przeszłości celów, a zwłaszcza:


a/ popularyzacji spuścizny materialnej angielskich inżynierów cywilnych: Williama, Williama Heerleina, Roberta i Josepha Lindleyów, będącej wynikiem ich działalności na ziemiach polskich oraz innych państw europejskich,



b/ informowania opinii publicznej o życiu, działalności i dziedzictwie Lindleyów, a także o nowych publikacjach oraz krajowych i zagranicznych upamiętnieniach tych zasłużonych dla krzewienia postępu, a także rozwoju higieny postaci, bohaterów romantycznego wieku pary i elektryczności.



Upowszechnianie wiedzy i informowanie zainteresowanych o aktualnych wydarzeniach realizować będziemy z wykorzystaniem mediów społecznych i strony internetowej www.lindleiana.pl

 


Założyciel TL„SL”

Prof. dr hab. Ryszard Żelichowski
