Man obtains salt (sodium chloride — NaCl) from sea water, from naturally occurring rock salt, and from brine formed when water dissolves rock salt. Salt is necessary for the maintenance of life. It enhances the flavour of food. It preserves food by being toxic to micro-organisms and restricting their growth. Salt has long been used in agriculture, glazing pottery, curing leather and dyeing textiles. Its use in the manufacture of heavy chemicals dates from 1773 when Scheele isolated chlorine from salt. Chlorine bleaching became a feasible industrial process after 1799 when Tennant patented bleaching powder. In 1791 the introduction of the Leblanc Process for making soda from salt gave rise to the synthetic alkali industry.

A fitting memorial to both Stoney and his son Edward Duncan Stoney, AMICE, who died six months after his father, is the Richmond Half Tide Barrier on the River Thames. Here the free-roller sluices have operated most satisfactorily, with the minimum of upgrading, for over 100 years. The Barrier enhances the reach and has great architectural merit. Few of Stoney’s personal papers have been discovered. Duncan’s widow, Ellen Naomi, wrote in a letter to F.W.S. Stokes, the Managing Director of Ransomes and Rapier Ltd, a few days after Duncan died:
