Alexander Wilson (British architect)

Alexander Wilson LRIBA (26 December 1888 - 30 April 1969) was an architect based in Nottingham.

Some of his most significant work include the 900 houses built on the Beeston Rylands estate in the late 1930s.

He entered into a partnership with Nehemiah Rigley as Architects, Surveyors and Land Agents, based at offices at 13 St Peter's Gate, Nottingham, but this partnership was dissolved in 1926.

The houses were built as ‘dwellings for working men’ which at a total cost of £400 (equivalent to £34,300 in 2023)[2] only required an initial deposit of £20 and weekly repayments of 9s 9d.

He later moved to 19 Albert Road, Alexandra Park, Nottingham and died on 30 April 1969 and left an estate valued at £32,869 (equivalent to £683,300 in 2023).
