George grew up in Swanage. In 1835, at the age of 19. George Burt moved to London to join Mowlem’s business, becoming a partner in 1844 and managing the business after Mowlem’s semi-retirement the following year. Upon taking over the Mowlem’s company, Burt substantially expanded the firm’s operations. Surviving the lean years during the financial crisis of 1866-7, his company became a major public-works contractor and won the contract for Queen Victoria Street in the City of London (1869), followed by Billingsgate Market 7 (1874-7), and the City of London School in 1880 on the new Victoria Embankment, amongst others. Burt, like his uncle, maintained an interest in Swanage, establishing gas and waterworks. In 1865, the Swanage suburb of Durlston was conceived and developed by Burt. However it was never completed, part of the land originally intended for the development is now Durlston Country Park. Although, Durlston Castle with the associated Stone Globe was completed in 1887. He provided public access to the Tilly Whim caves but the access route had to be modified due to Sir J. C. Robinson’s ban on public access over his land, much to Burt’s consternation and annoyance. An example of this rivalry was blocking access to Tilly Whim caves. George Burt resolved this issue, with a team of 20 workmen, created a steep stairway through the rock next to the coastal footpath, 30metres to the east of the caves. They used dynamite to blast a subterranean passageway that led to the mining lanes three metres below. This passage way was completed in 1887. (See Episode 1) Many architecturally interesting buildings and monuments were scavenged as a result of the company’s construction work on prestigious projects in London and re-erected by Burt in Swanage and Durlston. For example the 1670 porch for the Mercers’ Hall now adorns Swanage town hall, a clock tower commemorating the Duke of Wellington which once stood at the Southwark end of London Bridge is now a feature of Swanage seafront and many of Swanage’s cast iron bollards were originally made for London boroughs, and still carry their names. George Burt was buried at Kensal Green Cemetery. Control of the company passed to his descendants Sir John Mowlem Burt (1845–1918) and Sir George Mowlem Burt (1884–1964) Other videos you might like: A Walk around Historic Swanage - Episode 1:    • A narrated walk around Historic Swanage - ...   A Walk around Historic Lymington:    • A Walk around Historic Lymington in Septem...   The gardens of Montacute House:    • A narrated stroll around Montacute House G...   A Walk from Highcliffe to Mudeford:    • Summary of Summer walk from Highcliffe to ...   Walking from Studland to Old Harry Rocks:    • Swanage Walks - From Studland to Old Harry...   The Dorset village of Langton Matravers:    • A walk through the Dorset village of Langt...   The New Forest Video Diary - August 2020:    • The New Forest Video Diary in July and Aug...   A Walk around Historic Brockenhurst:    • A Summer walk around Historic Brockenhurst...   Attributions Great Globe with Signage behind 1890s: Photochrom Print Collection - Library of Congress Catalog: http://lccn.loc.gov/2002708139 Title from the Detroit Publishing Co., Catalogue J-foreign section, Detroit, Mich. : Detroit Publishing Company, 1905.; Forms part of: Views of England in the Photochrom print collection.; Print no.
