1910 Obituary [5]
THE death is announced of Mr. William Pelham Bullivant, J.P., a director of the firm of Bullivant and Company, Limited, wire rope makers and engineers, of Mark lane and Millwall. Mr. Bullivant, who had been suffering for some considerable time, died at his home, New Mills Court, Stroud, Gloucestershire, on the 26th inst., at the age of fifty-two.
Mr. Bullivant was widely known in engineering circles. He was instrumental, in conjunction with Mr. W. T. H. Carrington, in applying to the San Paulo Railway in Brazil a system of wire rope haulage over five sections of the steepest pacts of the line, thus overcoming the main difficulties attached to the heavy and increasing traffic. Indeed, it way safely be said that without these rope inclines it would have been almost impossible to work the system on the present economical lines.
He was chairman of the Justices of the Peace for the Tower Hamlets Division of the County of London. He twice unsuccessfully contested Poplar in the Conservative interests, and was a member of the first London County Council.
