The latter appointment led Stock to undertake a considerable number of educational commissions, but his primary field of activity was in the construction of manufacturing sites and warehouses in London.
Their buildings included a biscuit factory at Bermondsey for Peek Freans;[3][b] the Anchor Brewery in Southwark for Barclay, Perkins & Co.; another brewery, the Ram Brewery at Wandsworth for Young & Co.;[5] and the cotton warehouse on Tooley Street, which had earlier been designed by Snooke and was renamed The Counting House, following its rebuilding after destruction in the 1861 Tooley Street fire.
[11] Snooke and Stock also undertook residential developments at New Cross and at Telegraph Hill in south London.
The New Cross estate had been purchased in 1614 to provide a source of funding for the school established at Monmouth by William Jones.
His son, Henry William Stock, was also an architect and worked in his father's practice.
