John Upton (civil engineer)

John Upton (ca 1774 – 1851) was born in Petworth, Sussex, England. He was a civil engineer and contractor working on roads, canals and ports first in England and later in Russia.
==English career==
His father, John Upton, was a surveyor to the George Wyndham, 3rd Earl of Egremont at Petworth House. The Earl took a great interest in road and waterway improvements. It seems probable that the young Upton gained basic engineering skills partly from his father and from working on schemes sponsored by the Earl. In 1815 he was working on the stalled project to build a canal from Gloucester to join the river Severn at Berkeley. He published a plan 〔Observations on the Gloucester & Berkeley Canal. - Institution of Civil Engineers Archives London .〕 that the canal should join the river at Sharpness rather than Berkeley - a plan that was eventually adopted.
He was also working as a construction contractor, principally in South Wales.〔Biographical Dictionary of Civil Engineers in Great Britain and Ireland. Vol 1 page 734.. Published 2002 Thomas Telford.〕 By 1819 he had become surveyor for part of the London to Holyhead road running from Stoney Stratford, near Milton Keynes, to Dunchurch, Warwickshire under the overall direction of Thomas Telford who seems to have had a high regard for Upton's engineering skills.〔Gentleman's Magazine. January 1855 p 88-89〕
