Edward Bindon Marten

Edward Bindon Marten was a British civil and mechanical engineer born in 1832 and active in the Black Country during the nineteenth century. Sources including Grace's Guide and later historical research describe him as an engineer whose career touched waterworks, sanitation, and industrial safety, with a strong connection to Stourbridge and the wider industrial Midlands.

He is most closely associated with steam-boiler inspection and with Records of Steam Boiler Explosions, the work for which he is still most often listed in library and public-domain catalogs. Modern scholarship has also highlighted his role in sanitation engineering, showing that his interests went beyond machinery alone and into the health conditions of fast-growing industrial towns.

Marten died in 1914. A suitable verified portrait image could not be confirmed from the sources checked, so no profile image is included.
