John Aird (engineer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Sir John Aird, 1st Baronet
:''For others similarly named, see the John Aird navigation page'' Sir John Aird, 1st Baronet (3 December 1833 – 6 January 1911) was a notable English civil engineering contractor of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He also served as Conservative Member of Parliament (MP) for Paddington North from 1887 to 1906, was the first Mayor of Paddington in 1900, and became an enthusiastic collector of British art. ==Early life== Aird was the son of a former mason – also called John Aird (1806–1876) – who was superintendent of the Phoenix Gas Company's gasworks in Greenwich, south-east London before setting up his own contracting business, John Aird & Co., in 1848. On his 18th birthday in 1851, Aird junior joined the family firm – which subsequently traded as ''John Aird & Sons'' for a while. The business had initially focused on gas and water network installations, but soon expanded into more general building work.
