Description

Invitations to Mr Spence to a luncheon (2 December 1957) and an invitation to viewing of the Film “The Kariba Story” (18 May 1960).

Part of a collection of papers and books formerly belonging to W Stewart Spence donated by his nephew Michael Wood (see here).

For more information on the Kariba Dam see here.

Professor Paul Jowitt of Heriot-Watt University and past President of the Institution of Civil engineers (2009/10) was, in part, inspired to become a civil engineer by seeing a black and white TV programme about the Kariba Dam when he was nine years old (see here).
