- Description:
- Hamilton Smith (1840-1900), whose family home was in Durham, was an eminent engineer and financier. He achieved a considerable reputation for work in hydraulic gold mining in California, and later became consulting engineer to N. M. Rothschild and Sons of London, bankers and mine owners. Smith devoted much of his time during 1894-96 to the financing and construction of the Central London Railway. He found the work exhausting and left England to retire in Durham in 1896.
