George Haden

George Haden (1788–1856) was a British engineer, inventor and holder of several patents relating to woollen milling and warm-air heating.

Haden was born into a family of engineers; his father (also named George) was associated with the Birmingham Soho Foundry of Matthew Boulton and James Watt.

For Jeffry Wyattville's refurbishment of Windsor Castle, King George IV engaged Haden in 1826 to design and install the new heating system.

[1] By 1830, Haden had gained a reputation for this and his London installations, and his order book of the time shows work for the Earl of Pembroke at Wilton House.

In 1834 Haden joined the Institution of Civil Engineers, his membership certificate being signed by the Chairman Thomas Telford, and was a member until his death.
