Notes From Elsewhere
William Charles Lucy FGS,(20th May 1822-11th May 1898) is one of the great unsung heroes of Gloucestershire geology.
Founder Chairman of the Gloucester and Berkeley Canal and associated companies, which built the Sharpness New Docks and Severn Railway bridge, which for a time made him somewhat unpopular in Gloucester having helped divert trade away from the area. He was a Director of the Gloucestershire Banking Company....He took up geology as a relaxation from his business life ...his collection is in the Natural History Museum. The ammonite genus Lucya erected by S.S.Buckman is named in honour of William Lucy.
