BLACKPOOL ENGINEER DEAD - The death took place, at his residence, Upper Queen’s Terrace. Fleetwood, yesterday afternoon, of Mr C.(sic) P. Worthington, at the age of 64 years. Mr. Worthington had for many years carried on the business of architect and engineer at South Shore. His father acted as surveyor to the old Local Board, and put down the first hulking between Central Station and South Shore, while the deceased gentleman himself was the engineer in the erection the Victoria Pier, being also the hon. architect for the building of the Blackpool Victoria Hospital. He acted as engineer for the Central Pier extension. Mr. Worthington possessed great knowledge on the subjects of sea defence and harbour works, and he was frequently called upon Act as engineer and arbitrator in such undertakings. A few years ago, when the disaster occurred at Morecambe through the jetty giving way, Mr. Worthington was called in to report upon the work, and afterwards prepared plans for and superintended the extensions which were made at the pier. He was a man of originality and had taken out several patents in this country and America. [Lancashire Evening Post 3 May 1905 page 3]
