Publication: The Scotsman Citation Details: 10 July 1862 Text: DEATH OF MR ERRINGTON. We regret to announce the death of Mr John Errington, the Vice-President of the Society of Civil Engineers. Mr Errington, who was of an old Northumbrian family, was born at Hull in 1806. He became a civil engineer, and, when railways began to be constructed in the north of England, devoted himself chiefly to that department of the profession connected with them. Along with Mr Locke, was engineer to the Glasgow and Greenock Railway and Dock, the Lancaster and Carlisle, the Caledonian, the East Lancaster, the Scottish Central, Scottish Midland, and Aberdeen Railways. About the year 1850 he was again, with Mr Locke, appointed consulting engineer for the northern division of the London and North-Western Railway, and in that capacity constructed many of their branches and extensions. He was also up to the time of his death engineer-in-chief to the London and South-Western Railway. He was, like his partner (Mr Locke), a strong advocate for economy in the first cost of construction, and the lines executed by him all bear testimony to this.
