Sancton Wood

He died there on 18 April 1886, and was buried with his wife and sons at Putney Lower Common cemetery.

[1] He set up his own practice in England and obtained work designing stations for the growing railway networks in Great Britain and Ireland.

His designs were constrained by budgets, but he was successful in a number of competitions, winning a prize of £100 for Ipswich station.

Wood continued to work in Ireland for a number of years, designing stations between Dublin and Cork for Great Southern and Western, and on the Limerick Junction.

He is credited with a number of churches, commercial buildings, estates, and schools in the London area, including Queen's Assurance Company office (1852), Hackney town hall (1864) and a terrace houses, Lancaster Gate (1857).
