http://www.britishengineerium.org/motivation.php
Mike Holland arrived in Brighton, fresh from the Merchant Navy as an unemployed 18 years old, but he was in no mood to waste any time on the dole. He found work on building sites and invested his wages in tools. At the age of 21, he was overseeing house building, and soon creating his own property developments, embarking on the career that has led him to become one of Brighton and Hove’s leading citizens.

A HERO OF ENGINEERING. In 1866 the Goldstone Pumping Station (now the British Engineerium) commenced supplying an abundance of fresh clean water to the citizens of Brighton and Hove. It was designed and built by Thomas Hawkesley, an eminent civil engineer who campaigned for the provision of clean drinking water. In his career he completed over 150 water supply schemes of which the British Engineerium is a particularly fine example.
