John England MICE (1822 – 14 September 1877) was a British civil engineer prominent in the history of the Colony of South Australia.
On gaining his degree, he was put in charge of design and construction of engines for the HMSS Megara and her sister ship.
His work drew the attention of Charles Vignoles, who then employed England to supervise construction of the suspension bridge over the Dnieper at Kiev, a job which took five years, from 1842 to 1847.
[2] In recognition of his work he was offered the post of Captain in the Imperial Engineer Corps, but his health had suffered from the cold climate, and he decided to move to South Australia.
[2] He left the Public Service in 1867 after a Select Committee found he had authorized over-payment to the Thorndon Park contractor,[1] and joined the firm of Wallace and Morel, who were laying the railway north from Port Augusta.
