Other Information
Joseph Bishop (1895) was in office when the Severn Tunnel was under construction. He was appointed manager of the London & North Western Railway in the Abergavenny District. On the opening of the Severn Tunnel in 1888, he was appointed to supervise the through working of the North Western Company’s traffic to and from the north and west of England.
He was elected to the Board of Improvements Commissioners in 1868 (becoming chairman in 1883) and to the Urban District Council in 1894 (becoming chairman the following year), but subsequently resigned due to pressure of work.
On the creation of Abergavenny into a Borough, he was unanimously requested to accept the position of the first mayor of the borough, under the restored charter, on the 9th November, 1899, but illness prevented him from continuing from April 1990, and he died in 1902 after 23 years of service to the town.
