In 1943, during World War II, HM Fort Roughs was constructed by the United Kingdom as one of the Maunsell Forts, primarily for defence against German mine-laying aircraft that might be targeting the estuaries that were part of vital shipping lanes ; it comprised a floating pontoon base with a superstructure of two hollow towers joined by a deck upon which other structures could be added.

In 1963, Sutch and his manager, Reginald Calvert, took over Shivering Sands Army Fort, a Maunsell Fort off Southend and in 1964 started Radio Sutch, intending to compete with other pirate radio stations such as Radio Caroline.

His first contribution to the Southern Railway was to oversee the construction of three 350 hp six-wheeled diesel-electric shunters ordered by Maunsell in 1936 ; three of these were built and proved effective, with a subsequent order being placed for eight more, though this was subsequently cancelled due to the onset of the Second World War.

Maunsell became a favorite of the young King Henry III and was appointed to the vacant prebend of Thames by Henry, but Robert Grosseteste, a reforming bishop with strong feelings about ecclesiastic rights and privilege, refused to admit him.

John Maunsell was in France with Queen Eleanor and Edmund when Simon de Montfort vanquished Henry III at the Battle of Lewes, 14 May 1264.

The design and construct portion of the contract valued at A $ 1. 8 billion was awarded to a joint venture between ABI Group and Leighton Contractors ( ALJV ) with design work undertaken by a further joint venture by Maunsell Australia and SMEC ( Snowy Mountains Electricity Company ) with further subcontracting to other designers ( Arup ) and independent verification by Sinclair Knight Merz ( SKM ).

In his first year, he lived with other bachelors in Lyttelton — Charles Bowen, Thomas Hanmer, and Charles Maunsell — in a place dubbed " Singleton House " by Charlotte Godley.

Maunsell may refer to a number of different people or things with that name:

The Urie boiler was retained, though the Eastleigh superheater was replaced by a Maunsell type with 10 per cent greater superheating surface area.

Designer, Sinclair Knight Merz / Maunsell AECOM, and constructor, Leighton Contractors, were selected to join with Queensland Transport to deliver this section of the Eastern Busway.

It was a 0-6-0 diesel electric shunter, with a close family resemblance to the Southern Railway Maunsell 350 hp DMS.

After examining the practice of other British railways, Richard Maunsell, the Chief Mechanical Engineer, secured agreement for a 4-cylinder design, with an improved boiler and Belpaire firebox.

It was intended to replace several elderly 4-4-0 classes within the former SECR's running fleet, and attempted to standardise and ease maintenance of locomotives by sharing parts with other Maunsell designs.

Two designs of Maunsell tender were used, the straight-sided variety, and the larger design used on later batches of the N class with inward-sloping raves to prevent coal spillage.

From 1928, the entire class was painted in Maunsell ’ s lined Southern Railway Olive green with yellow markings and " Southern " on the tender.

Other improved superheaters were introduced by John G. Robinson of the Great Central Railway at Gorton locomotive works, by Robert Urie of the London and South Western Railway ( LSWR ) at Eastleigh railway works, and Richard Maunsell of the Southern Railway ( Great Britain ), also at Eastleigh.

The Chief Mechanical Engineer ( CME ) of the newly formed company, Richard Maunsell, modified the Urie locomotives in the light of operational experience and increased the class strength to 74 locomotives.

The conversion process created a locomotive that was similar in appearance to the N15 " King Arthur " class as modified by Maunsell in the 1920s.

As the Drummond G14 and P14 4-6-0s were rebuilt to the N15 specification at Eastleigh, a lack of production capacity due to repair and overhaul meant that Maunsell ordered a further batch of 20 locomotives from the North British Locomotive Company in 1924.

When the former Drummond G14 and P14 4-6-0s were rebuilt to Maunsell ’ s N15 specification in February 1925, the Southern Railway decided to give names to all express passenger locomotives.

Maunsell was aware of the reputation for poor steaming enjoyed by the class and attempted to address it by the fitting of twin Kylchap blastpipes to No. 860 in 1934.

The Principality of Sealand is an unrecognized entity, located on HM Fort Roughs, a former World War II Maunsell Sea Fort in the North Sea off the coast of Suffolk, England, United Kingdom.

This Council consisted of the earls of Leicester, Gloucester, Norfolk, Warwick, Hereford, the Count of Aumale, Peter of Savoy, John fitzGeoffrey, Peter de Montfort, Richard Grey, Roger Mortimer, James Audley, John Maunsell, Walter de Cantilupe, Bishop of Worcester as well as Boniface.

In 2008 the total cost was revised upwards to £ 180M, and projections for finishing the job to 2012. In a report produced by JE Jacobs, Grant Thornton and Faber Maunsell in 2007 which reviewed the alternative options for a second road crossing, it was stated that the estimated working life of the Forth Bridge was in excess of 100 years.

This was known as the Maunsell Scheme, and was projected to run somewhat closer to the rail bridge than the present road bridge.

In July 2005 the winning design was chosen, by Faber Maunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects.

Its first representatives were John le Clerk and Stephen Maunsell, who were elected to the parliament of King Edward I in 1298, but for some reason or other no subsequent return was made until 1640, when the privilege was again resumed by order of the House of Commons.

The contractor's designer was G Maunsell & Partners of London.

In 1937, Bulleid accepted the post of CME of the Southern Railway ( SR ) at a salary of £ 3, 000, after Richard Edward Lloyd Maunsell retired.

There were two Chief Mechanical Engineers ; Richard Maunsell between 1923 and 1937 and Oliver Bulleid from 1937 to 1948, both of whom designed new locomotives and rolling stock to replace much of that which was inherited in 1923.

However, any available funds were devoted to electrification programme, and this marked the end of the first period under Chief Mechanical Engineer ( CME ) Richard Maunsell when the Southern Railway led the field in steam locomotive design.

Maunsell was responsible for initial attempts at locomotive standardisation on the Southern, as well as overseeing the introduction of electric traction.

They also beat their rivals in two pre-season Maunsell Cup games.

The first experimental batch ( BR numbers 15201-15203 ) were designed by Richard Maunsell of the SR in 1937 and were later classified D3 / 12.

The R series led to the SE & CR's R1 and subsequent H class ; the Bs to the famous C class ; and the Ms to the D and E classes, which in their rebuilt Maunsell form may have been the best British inside-cylinder 4-4-0s.

Sir John Maunsell ( c. 1190 / 1195 – 1265 ), also Sir John Mansel, Provost of Beverley, was king's clerk, and a judge.

A further fifteen locomotives were constructed in three consecutive batches during 1924, the final one appearing in January 1925, and these were constructed under the auspices of Richard Maunsell, Urie's successor.
