Sir Charles Langbridge Morgan

Sir Charles Langbridge Morgan CBE was a British civil engineer who worked on railways.

Spent his early career on several railway construction projects before joining the Great Eastern Railway where his responsibilities included construction of Liverpool Street station. Became chief engineer of the London, Brighton & South Coast Railway in 1896 and directed improvements to Victoria station and Grosvenor Bridge (which carries the lines from Victoria Station across the Thames). During WW1 he was a lieutenant-colonel in the Royal Engineers, carrying out 'special engineering duties' in Italy and France for the War Office. He later served as the army's deputy director of railways, on the advisory expert committee to the Ministry of Munitions and on the Disposal Board of the Disposal and Liquidation Commission.

His son of the same name (1894-1958) went by Charles Morgan.
