rdfs:comment	Sir Edward William Watkin, 1. Baronet (* 26. September 1819 in Salford; † 13. April 1901 in Manchester) war ein britischer Manager und Politiker (Liberal Party). Über 30 Jahre lang war er Abgeordneter des House of Commons. Er war Vorsitzender mehrerer Eisenbahngesellschaften, darunter der , der und der Metropolitan Railway (letztere gehört heute zum Netz der London Underground). Watkin strebte ohne Erfolg den Aufbau eines von ihm kontrollierten Eisenbahnnetzes an, das von den Midlands über London bis nach Paris reichen sollte, wozu er einen Tunnel unter dem Ärmelkanal bauen wollte. Ein weiteres gescheitertes Projekt war der Watkin’s Tower. (de) Sir Edward William Watkin, 1st Baronet (26 September 1819 – 13 April 1901) was a British Member of Parliament and railway entrepreneur.
