Alfred Barton Brady

[1][2][3] On 15 January 1872 at age 15, Brady commenced his training as a pupil of Charles William Green, an architect and civil engineer of Manchester and Liverpool.

As Green was the official architect for the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway, Brady gained experience working with their engineering and architecture department.

From March 1879 to October 1884, Brady worked in London and other parts of England gaining experience with water supply, sewerage and drainage.

[3] Brady immigrated to Brisbane in December 1884 and was employed by the Queensland Public Service in January 1885 and served the state in various departments for 37 years.

[1][2][3] Brady retired at the end of January 1922, being forced to do so by an age restriction within the Queensland Public Service (his 66th birthday was 1 February 1922).
