The Treacher papers
John Treacher (1736-1802) was first General Surveyor for the Upper District of the Thames Navigation Commission,
and later General Engineer for the whole Navigation. He was succeeded in similar roles by his son John, and then
by John’s son George. Together they held senior positions in the Navigation from 1791-1863.
The Treacher papers include many notes and drawings of works undertaken for the Thames Navigation
Commission, and similar papers for other clients such as the Berkshire Quarter Sessions, for whom John
Treacher junior was also surveyor of bridges.
The collection is available for research at the Record Office. Usual rules for access apply.
