William Mawson

[3] Initially Mawson lived with his eldest brother Henry and his family at 27 Hanover Square, Bradford.

[10] Firstly, the three main architects – Lockwood and the Mawson brothers – were all from Yorkshire which appealed to local businessmen.

[12] A young Francis Mawson Rattenbury joined the firm in 1886 as a student but during the six years he was with them the company made little impact or designed buildings of importance.

[14] In 1849 Lockwood and Mawson won a competition against twenty-one other entrants to design St George's Hall.

[18] This became Saltaire which is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site due to its international influence as it was innovative and progressive project.

[19] Their outstanding individual work is the Saltaire United Reformed Church which is a Grade I listed building.

Its most notable feature is the magnificent clock tower which is Italianate inspired by the Palazzo Vecchio in Florence.

[23] The Wool Exchange was built between 1864 and 1867 with the foundation being laid by the Prime Minister of the day, Lord Palmerston.
