So Who Is Our Letter U?

 An A-Z of Architects of Loughborough

For a complete list of the A-Z posts please head over to the bloglist.

 

So, I have to confess I have struggled to find an architect with a connection to Loughborough whose surname begins with U. The closest I can get is Raymond Unwin, who was the cousin of Barry Parker, and who worked with Parker on those garden cities with which we are familiar. Of course, it was Barry Parker who designed our very own garden city, in the form of Shelthorpe.

And then, of course, we have an actual building whose name begins with a letter U which was designed by a local architect of whom I have already written under letter H. Willie Thomas Hampton designed Unity House for use as a medical aid centre, offering assistance to people via Friendly Societies before the NHS came along. Dr Corcoran was senior medical officer at Unity House, and Gertrude Mary Hutton was one of the subsequent doctors. Unity House was opened on Wednesday 4 December 1889, and was reported as follows in the Leicester Daily Mercury:

"LOUGHBOROUGH MEDICAL AID ASSOCIATION.

OPENING OF NEW PREMISES.

On Wednesday the new premises in Fennell-street, which have been built for the above association, were formally opened to the members. For some time the original premises purchased and fitted up for the association in Fennell-street have been inconvenient and inadequate to the requirements of the institution, and the committee having acquired a site adjoining the surgeon's residence, commenced the erection of new and improved offices.

Mr W. T. Hampton, architect, Loughborough, was commissioned to prepare plans, and the tender of Mr. A. Faulks, of Loughborough, for the construction of the premises was accepted. The building stands upon a superficial area of 67 feet by 31 feet, the latter being the street frontage. It is two storeys high.

To the left the dispensing department is reached through a private door, and a little farther on are two waiting-rooms, one for patients desirous of consulting the doctors, and the other for those who require the dispenser. These rooms, divided by a fixed screen, are respectively 20ft. square and 29ft. by 16ft., and 12ft. high. Communication with the dispensing department is obtained by means of two small apertures.

Two consulting rooms, connected with each other, are provided, one for each doctor. As the members have their prescriptions dispensed they pass out into Fennell-street by a second door at the other side of the building. Space at the rear is utilised for outhouses, &c. A room, 50ft by 20ft., and 16ft. high, is intended by the committee, if occasion requires, to be used for the meetings of the several friendly societies. The erection of the premises is estimated to have cost about £1,000."

So Who Was Willie Thomas Hampton?

   An A-Z of Architects of Loughborough

For a complete list of the A-Z posts please head over to the bloglist.

____________________________________

Short biography of Willie Thomas Hampton

Willie Thomas Hampton’s birth was registered at St Luke’s, London, in the third quarter of 1860, but by the time of the 1861 census return, his parents had moved the family to Fawkes Street in Derby. Josiah, Willie’s father, was an engineer, aged 45, who had been baptised in Road (now Rode) in Somerset, and who had married Sarah Clements at St Augustine the Less church in Gloucestershire. Willie had older brothers Josiah (18), and Walter (17) an engineer, and three older sisters, Sarah (13) working in a silk mill, and Hannah (11) and Alice (9) both scholars.

By 1867 the family had moved to Regent Street, Loughborough, where Josiah was an engineer. The house was listed as number 64 on the 1871 census return, which was either a workshop, or a home with workshops. Josiah’s occupation listed on the census return was now a screw and nail maker, while eldest son, Josiah, now 28, was a screw machine worker. Sarah was looking after the house, while Willie, aged 10, was a scholar.

In 1879, having completed his education, Willie opened an architectural practice from 64 Regent Street, where, according to an advert he placed in the Hinckley News and General Advertiser, he prepared plans, specifications, and estimates for all kinds of buildings and machinery, as well as searching “the novelty of inventions and patents” all on most “reasonable terms” – and at short notice, too!

Early in 1881, Willie married Lucy North in Loughborough, and in April that year they were lodging with Lucy’s parents, retired commercial traveller, Henry and his wife Ann. Sadly, the birth and death of Willie and Lucy’s first son, Willie Thomas, was recorded in the third quarter of 1881. Further sadness for the pair, when their second son, Ernest born and died in the third quarter of 1882. Thankfully, Willie North, who was born in October 1884 survived and went on to follow in his father’s footsteps as an architect and surveyor, and lived to be 75. Willie and Lucy’s daughter, Lucy Minnie, was born in January 1886, and lived until 1947. From 1885 to 1886, Willie had a pupil architect, Joshua James Follett.  

During these early days of raising a family, Willie was working hard on designs and plans, which included three cottages on Oxford Street, at the same time as Messengers built their nearby foundry, and as other folk designed a few houses for Paget and Leopold Streets. By 1888 he had moved his architectural practice to The Rushes. 1889 saw the opening of the Medical Aid Centre on Fennel Street, which offered both a home for some of the local friendly societies, and medical help for the members. This important building had been designed by Willie.

In 1891, Willie, wife, Lucy, and children Willie North and Lucy Minnie were living at 41 The Rushes, on the corner of Shakespeare Street. Willie now had a pupil architect and surveyor working with him, his cousin, Stephen Hampton Andrews, who was aged 18. Willie’s niece (the daughter of his sister, Hannah) was working as their general domestic servant. For a few years, Willie’s design work seemed to focus on buildings in what we would today call North West Leicestershire.

In 1892 Willie was the architect behind the alterations to the Old Gate Inn, on Fairfield Road, Hugglescote, which included a two-storey extension, and alterations to the window openings throughout. The pub was tied to the James Eadie brewery, and the building had originally been constructed in 1774 – the date was highlighted in blue bricks, rather like those on our Organ Grinder. Willie designed the Constitutional Club at Coalville, which incorporated an early Victorian building at the rear. The foundation stones were laid in January 1897, and the building, faced in Ellistown redbrick, was constructed by the local firm, Beckworth & Son.

From 1893 to 1898, Frank Goddard was Willie's architect pupil, an dhe remained as an assistant from 1898 until 1902. Frank's time with Willie overlapped with other assistant, Thomas Henry Dobson who was with him from 1895, until 1900. 

In 1898, Willie was initiated into the Howe and Charnwood Lodge of the Freemasons, in Loughborough, and in 1901 the family were living on Derby Road, and 16-year-old Willie North was a pupil architect to his father at his practice on Swan Street. Over the years Willie had done a lot of work on plans for improvements to pubs, and in August 1901 he was the architect behind some extensive alterations to the Plough Inn at Thorpe Acre.

Also in 1901, Willie was elected as the Conservative member of the town council for the Storer Ward, a role he would hold until 1907, and which would see him closely involved with developments in the town. In 1908 Willie and son Willie moved the architectural practice to Ashby Road. In 1910 Willie was on the Loughborough Education Committee and was architect to that committee. In the summer of 1910, he was supervising the painting and repairs of Loughborough schools during the summer holidays.

Sadly, Willie’s life was cut short. Willie died as the result of injuries sustained in a car accident, which happened on Ashby Road, when he was travelling to Shepshed in August 1910 from his home at 1 Frederick Street. Probate was granted at Leicester on 10 October 1910 to Lucy Hampton, his widow. Effects were £2,722 4s. 9d..

During his lifetime, Willie had been architect to the Loughborough Board of Guardians, and the Shepshed Urban District Council. He was architect of the County Council schools which were being erected at Castle Donnington in 1910, and was the architect behind many alterations to Loughborough pubs.

In his spare time, Willie was a keen angler, and a leading remember of the Loughborough and Soar Angling Society, often taking the chair at the Society’s meetings. On August 27th 1910, at the prize-giving event in the Kings Head Hotel which followed the Society’s annual fishing match, a vote of condolence was passed with the family of the late Mr Hampton. At the annual meeting of 1909, Willie had himself lamented the recent passing of Mr Hussey Packe, the Society’s president.

Willie’s widow, Lucy continued to live at Frederick Street before moving to live with her daughter, Lucy Minnie at 34 Arthur Street, where she died on 4 February 1928.

Goddard, Paget, and Goddard

So, you may already know that the HSBC bank in Loughborough Market Place is a grade II listed building that was designed by the Leicester architectural firm of Goddard, Paget, and Goddard. 

Short company history

Goddard and Paget was founded in Leicester in 1874 by Joseph Goddard, son of Henry Goddard an architect, and son of Henry Goddard also an architect, and Alfred Henry Paget, both of Leicester. In 1889 they were joined by Joseph’s son, Henry Langton Goddard, and the firm name changed to Goddard Paget and Goddard. This changed again in 1895 when Walter Albert Catlow joined, and became Goddard Paget & Catlow, then again in 1900, to Goddard & Catlow.

Short biography of Frank Goddard

An unrelated architect by the name of Goddard also has a connection with Loughborough, although most of his designs appear in what is now North West Leicestershire.

Frank Goddard was born in Saltley, Birmingham, on 17 December 1878, and baptised on 19 January 1879. His parents were Edmund Goddard and Eliza née Richardson, who had married in 1873, probably in Quorn, which is where Eliza was born. Sadly, Edmund, who was an engine driver, died on 2 February 1880 in Wolverhampton, so at the time the 1881 census was taken, Eliza and her son Frank, aged 2, had moved from the family home at 23 Alum Rock Road, Saltley, and were living at 42 Waring Street, Leicester, where Eliza was a haberdasher.

In April 1882, Eliza remarried, to Samuel Skelham, the wedding taking place in Quorn. Thus, when the census was taken in 1891, Eliza and son, Frank, now aged 12, were living with Samuel and the couple’s daughter, Edith, aged 3, in Hugglescote.

In 1893, and until 1898, Frank Goddard was articled to Loughborough-based architect Willie Thomas Hampton. Having completed his apprenticeship, he stayed on to work as Hampton’s assistant until about 1902. Thus, on the 1901 census returns Frank’s occupation is noted as an assistant architect, and he is living with his mother, stepfather, and half-sister at Quorn Cottage, Park Road, Coalville.

In 1902, Frank Goddard set up his own practice in Coalville, and then took on Thomas Bertram Wain as a partner in 1903. Their offices were at Station Chambers on High Street, Coalville. In 1911, Frank was elected as a licentiate of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA).

Meanwhile, in 1907, Frank had married Constance Annie Wheatley Field in Loughborough, and in 1909 their daughter, Margaret was born. In 1911, the family were living at Oxford Villas, Coalville, and Frank’s occupation is listed as architect and surveyor. In 1918, the family were joined by another child, son Frank Reginald.

In 1921, Frank, his wife, and two children were living in a 7-roomed house at 73 Station Road, Coalville, and Frank was an architect and surveyor, working in his own business. Young Frank was still living with his parents in 1939, at 5 Broom Leys, Coalville, when he was aged 21, but he was working at the Westminster Bank on the Bullring Shepshed, a building designed by Loughborough architect Albert Edward King.

Looking at Frank’s social life, it seemed quite busy! He was a superintendent of the Christ Church Sunday School in Coalville for around 23 years, and at one time a chorister and choirmaster there; he was also have been superintendent of the Coalville Scout troop; he helped to organise the Church Lads’ Brigade; he might have been a member of the local YMCA, and was a member of the Coalville Bowling Club, and the Gracedieu Lodge of Freemasons.

Work for the architects Goddard and Wain was quite prolific, and centred around public house alterations to bring them up to standard; clubs and buildings for the local Co-operative Society; church building and alteration; schools, and housing. As already noted, the majority of their work was in Coalville, Ibstock, Battram etc.. Frank stayed with the practice until he retired in 1940, and moved to live at Leigh on Sea, where he and Constance lived at 62 Darlinghurst Grove. It was here that Frank died in June 1956, probate being granted to Constance, and effects amounting to £575 18s. 5d.. Constance continued to live in the house until her own death in September 1981.

So Who Was Thomas Henry Dobson?

  

An A-Z of Architects of Loughborough

For a complete list of the A-Z posts please head over to the bloglist.

____________________________________       

Short biography of Thomas Henry Dobson

The birth of Thomas Henry Dobson was registered in the second quarter of 1876, in Loughborough. His parents were Charles Albert Dobson and his wife Annie (née Rowbotham). In 1881 the family were living at 80 Regent Street, Loughborough. Charles was aged 29, and was a master joiner employing 1 man and 1 boy. Thomas Henry now had a younger brother, George, aged 1.

By the time of the 1891 census, Thomas Henry was living with his parents, and siblings George (11) and William (7) and sister Muriel L. aged 1, at 11 Ashby Road. He was aged 14, and was articled to George Harry Barrowcliff, local architect, and remained with him as an improver and assistant until 1895.

Between 1895 and 1900 Thomas Henry worked as an assistant to Willie Thomas Hampton, another local architect, as his assistant. Thomas Henry moved away in 1900, and worked as an assistant to John Bond Pearce, between 1900 and 1903. Pearce was an architect based in Norwich, who was responsible for designing the Town Hall at Great Yarmouth, the Manor Hotel at Mundesley in Norfolk, and the restoration of Buxton parish church also in Norfolk, amongst other things.

At the time of the 1901 census, Thomas Henry was aged 24 and was boarding with the Wells family at 2 Norfolk Street, Norwich. In the summer of 1901, he married Annie Squire of Leamington Spa, at Barrow-on-Soar.

Between 1903 and1904, Thomas Henry was assistant to John Owen Bond, also an architect in Norwich, who included church work, cinema design, and industrial building design amongst his portfolio. After only a year, Thomas Henry became assistant to Henry Ward, with whom he stayed until 1907.

When the 1911 census was taken, Thomas Henry and wife Annie, now both aged 34, were living at 14 Belle Vue Crescent, Llandaff, in a house which had six rooms. He was an architect and surveyor with the Education Committee of Glamorgan County Council. Sometime before the 1921 census was taken Thomas Henry and Annie moved to Nottinghamshire, and at the time of the censes both were aged 45, and living at 174 Newcastle Avenue, Worksop. Thomas Henry was working as an architect and surveyor’s assistant for Frederick Hopksinon & Co. Ltd., builders and contractors who were based at 81 Bridge Street, Worksop.

Thomas Henry died on 5 November 1931 in Southsea, where the couple were living at 14 Herbert Road. Probate was granted 27 November to widow Annie. Effects were £422 7s 8d.

Sadly, I have been unable to identify any buildings designed by Thomas Henry Dobson, but am aware that some information is hiding in local archives – I simply haven’t had time to get in touch with the archivists.
