Bellamy and Hardy was an architectural practice in Lincoln, England, that specialised particularly in the design of public buildings and non-conformist chapels. Pearson Bellamy had established his own architectural practice by 1845 and he entered into a partnership with James Spence Hardy in June 1853. Both partners had previously worked for the Lincoln architect William Adams Nicholson. Hardy was described as "Chief Clerk" to Nicholson. [1] Hardy joined Pearson Bellamy immediately after the sudden death of Nicholson. As all known architectural drawings by the practice are signed Pearson Bellamy, it is likely that Bellamy was the architect and Hardy was the administrator in the practice. The partnership lasted until 1887. [2] Bellamy continued to practise until 1896. [3]

This architectural practice were the designers of a large number of buildings in Lincolnshire and more widely within the British Isles. In 1841 Hardy was working as an assistant to the Lincoln architect William Adams Nicholson, while Bellamy was apprenticed to Nicholson. John Spence Hardy was born in Preston in Lancashire around 1815 and Pearson Bellamy was born in Louth in 1822. [4] Pearson Bellamy completed his articles with Nicholson and then worked as an assistant to architects in Manchester and Liverpool. [5] Bellamy returned to Lincoln, perhaps in 1845, and on 16 July 1845 married Caroline Ann Penistan at St Swithin's Church, Lincoln. In May 1846 Bellamy became a partner with his brother-in-law Michael Penistan in an agricultural engineering business on Broadgate. [6] Bellamy continued with his architectural practice at 11 Broadgate, [7] and the partnership with Penistan was short lived. [8] John Spence Hardy had also left Nicholson's practice and by 1848 he was working with the York architect Richard Hey Sharp. Following the death of Sharp, Hardy sold up the York practice and on 11 June 1853 he formed an architectural practice with Pearson Bellamy in Lincoln. , [9] Their practice moved to 30 Broadgate, Lincoln. [10] In 1851 Pearson Bellamy was living in Melville Street, Lincoln, but probably moved to Carholme Terrace later in that year and was recorded there in 1856. [11] He remained there until after 1872, when it was known as No. 1 Carholme Road, [12] (now the Hollies Hotel). In 1881 he was living with his family at 14 Tentercroft Street and by 1889 he had moved to Weston Lodge, South Park, but by 1896 Pearson Bellamy had moved back to 14 Tentercroft Street. [13] Bellamy and Hardy "Architects and Surveyors" had offices in Melville Street, Lincoln. [14] In 1896 Pearson Bellamy is noted as working by himself at 29, Broadgate, Lincoln. [15] These premises, which have now been re-built were adjacent and on the north side of the Jolly Brewer in Broadgate. Hardy died in November 1892. [16] Pearson Bellamy died in June 1901 at 14 Tentercroft Street. [17] [18]

Architectural work

Nikolaus Pevsner had mixed views about the work of Pearson Bellamy. When discussing the Royal Exchange Offices in Lincoln, he refers to Pearson Bellamy as an underrated architect, [19] which contrasts with his description of Leighton Buzzard Corn Exchange (see below), which he seems to like, but criticises because it is not stylistically correct, calling it "Victorian at its most irresponsible". However, Pevsner considered their cemetery chapels at Loughborough "the best cemetery buildings in the county." [20]

Lincoln City Surveyorship

Following the Local Government Act of 1858, which was adopted by Corporation of Lincoln in 1866, a Local Government Board was set up. [21] In June 1866 the Board voted to appoint a surveyor to supervise sanitary and planning applications for the City. There were applications for the post from Michael Drury, the Corporation Surveyor, Henry Goddard, surveyor to the Lighting and Paving Commissioners, a Mr Betham and Pearson Bellamy. Henry Goddard's application was unexpectedly withdrawn. Bellamy was appointed to the position. [22] From this time Pearson Bellamy seems to have been increasingly occupied by this work in the City, but resigned sometime between 1875 and 1878, by which time he had been replaced by a John James Henderson. [23]

Public and commercial buildings

Burnley, Lancashire

  • Clock Tower, erected in St James's Street, Burnley. (1859). [24] The clock tower commission was decided following an open competition. 92 entries were received, with the first prize going to Bellamy and Hardy. [25] The clock tower appears to have been removed after World War II.

Boston

Boston, Lincs. Corn Exchange
  • The Boston Corn Exchange. Opened in September 1855. [26] The building of the Atheneum, also by Bellamy and Hardy, commenced almost immediately after the completion of the Corn Exchange. The Corn Exchange was demolished at the same time as the Atheneum.
The Atheneum, Boston, Lincolnshire The Atheneum, Boston, Lincolnshire.png
The Atheneum, Boston, Lincolnshire
  • The Atheneum, Boston Market Place (1855). Founded in 1851 as a result of the amalgamation of the Mechanic's Institute and the public library. The new building designs were approved on 19 September 1855 when the designs of three different architects were considered. Bellamy and Hardy's design was selected on the basis of cost, which was estimated at £600–650, while Fowler of Louth at £1000 and Micklethwait and Chapman of Grimsby at £800 were considered too expensive. [27] The Atheneum fronted onto the Market Place and stood in front of the Corn Exchange built in the same year. It was demolished when Marks and Spencers was built. [28]

Cambridge

  • Corn Exchange. It was announced in February 1858 that the "new Corn Exchange at Cambridge, ... by Messrs. Bellamy and Hardy, is now so far advanced as to give some idea of what it will be. The space within the walls is 108 feet length, and 49 in breadth. The height of the walls to the springing of the roof will be 25 feet. The roof will be divided into five compartments, and will be principally of glass, The contractors are Messrs. Sharman and Son, of Spalding, the amount being £2750." [29] The location of this corn exchange is unknown and it was replaced by the present Cambridge corn exchange building in 1875–76.

Grimsby Corn Exchange 1862
  • Grimsby Corn Exchange. Constructed of red brick and dressed stone. The plans were set in place by Grimsby Borough for the building project in 1855 and £6,000 was approved for the building, land and expenses. Bellamy and Hardy won the open competition for the design and were paid £150 to oversee the building's construction, which cost £3,429, with the balance of the £6,000 going to the previous owner of the site. A civic dinner was held on 6 March 1857 to mark the opening of the Corn Exchange. The building was demolished in 1960. [31]
  • The Mechanics Institute, Victoria Street, Grimsby. (1856). "an edifice in of coloured brick, and stone, in the Italian style." Built at the cost of nearly £1,200. [32]

Hull Corn Exchange 1863
  • The Corn Exchange, High Street, Hull. Now the Hull and East Riding Museum. Nikolaus Pevsner and David Neave describe this as an "imposing building" of 1856, [35] with a massive Italianate stone front. Three storeys, three bays with a high doorway flanked with Corinthian columns, with a large beaded mask carved on the keystone and agricultural motifs on the spandrels. Tripartite windows to first floor and big semi-circular windows to the upper floor. Cartouche with town arms on parapet. [36] The Corn Exchange incorporated a huge exchange hall spanned by timber trusses supported on carved corbels. The building was little used and in disrepair by 1888. The exchange lost more business in 1904 when the new Corn Market opened in the Market Hall, North Church Side. It closed in 1906 and some of the rooms were used as offices by companies such as the Yorkshire Farmers. During the First World War it was used to house troops. It found a new purpose in 1925 when it became the Museum of Commerce and Transport and then in 1989 the Hull and East Riding Museum. [37]

Ipswich

Ipswich Town Hall c. 1867-68 IpswichTown Hall.jpg
Ipswich Town Hall c. 1867–68
  • Ipswich Town Hall, Now an arts centre and events venue; it dates from 1867–1868. Pevsner describes it as "Italianate, with a French pavilion roof over the raised centre, and quite undistinguished". [38] A yellow stone building with pink pilasters, columns and dressings and a balustraded parapet with has four female standing figures representing Commerce, Agriculture, Law and Order and Justice. A stone dome, above, is surmounted by stone clock tower and cupola. The centre portion with three windows projects forward with an arcade of Corinthian columns on the first storey and a Roman Doric colonnade with vermiculated rustication at ground level. In the central portion, below the parapet, are three roundel figure heads of King Richard I, Cardinal Wolsey and King John. King Richard I promised the town its first charter, but died before it was granted. King John granted the town's charter and Cardinal Wolsey was the most famous person in Ipswich's history. [39] At the time the foundation stone was laid in April 1866, it was described "as being in the Venetian School and a combination of the Palace Rezzonio, with some others" and "A pleasing effect will be gained by the introduction of red Mansfield stone for the plinth of the building, and the columns and the pilasters throughout giving varied and warm tone to the whole. The basement story will contain a complete police establishment with cells, drilling shed, engine house, kitchen, office for weights and measures, and private entrance and stairs for the council. The ground story will comprise spacious entrance hall in the centre attained by flight of stone steps. To the left is grand staircase, to of red Mansfield stone, immediately opposite the session court, and the magistrates room". It was estimated that the building costs would be £11,750. [40]

Leighton Buzzard Corn Exchange 1862-3

Leighton Buzzard

  • Leighton Buzzard, Corn Exchange, Lake Road, 1862. According to Pevsner; "Victorian at its most irresponsible. Gay and vulgar, with two two-storeyed middle porch adorned with atlantes and caryatids. The style is a kind of dissolute Renaissance". [41] The Illustrated London News of 23 May 1863 described the Exchange as "a very handsome stone structure, situated in a commanding position, at one end of the market-place, with a good frontage. The Exchange-hall is spacious, and decorated with Ionic pilasters, cornice, and recessed, arched windows at the sides; the ceiling is formed into sunk coffers by enriched stiles, supported by coved ribs...... The design throughout is chaste and original, the front being designed in the modern Italian style of architecture, and consists of two stories of three light Venetian windows." The cost of site and buildings was about £7500. It later was used as a cinema, and in 1932 the spire above the portico became unsafe and was taken down. [42] The Exchange was demolished c.1960.

Lincoln

3 & 5 Guildhall Street, Lincoln, 1847-9.
  • Shopping development for Henry Moss, Draper and Mercer, on part of the site of the City Hotel (1847–1849). Corner site, where the High Street meets Guildhall Street, Lincoln. Four-storey building with three bays facing the High Street and ten bays facing Guildhall Street. Elizabethan or Jacobethan style. [43] [44] The building was later occupied by Hepworths and converted into a bank in 1893 by William Watkins. Watkins (or his son) refaced the upper part of the building and added a recessed tower on the corner. The exterior walls and the ground and first floors were removed, and the stone facade and strong-rooms were inserted. The building was further extended in the same style in 1923 and 1926 on the High Street frontage. This building is now the HSBC bank. No.3 and No.5, shops on Guildhall Street have survived largely intact, showing Pearson Bellamy's original detailing, with red brick facing and vermiculated rustication.

Female Penitents institution, Lincoln
  • The Female Penitents Institution, Carline Road 1850. By Pearson Bellamy. For fallen women. For "the moral reformation and religious instruction of unfortunate females". The building was sited on Carline Road, on the south side of the Lincoln workhouse. The foundation stone for the new building was laid on 2 May 1850 "with Masonic Honours" by the Earl of Yarborough. An institutional-looking building in brick with stone dressings. The building was three storeys high and nine bays wide. Four tall pilasters to cornice and parapet. Arched doorway with double pilasters. Stone stringcourse at first floor level. In 1936 the building was known as Belle Vue House and was used as an Approved school for girls. This ceased in 1949 and the building became the offices of the East Midlands Gas Board. It was demolished sometime after 1973. [45]
  • Lincoln & Lindsey Bank, 19 Saltergate, Lincoln (1878). [46] Bellamy and Hardy provided plans for the extension and modernisation of the Bank building and the work was carried out by the builder George Morgan. However, the bank moved to the corner of the High Street and Corporation Street in 1893 and is now the HSBC. [47]

  • Exchange Arcade, Lincoln, Cornhill, Lincoln. Following the construction of the second corn exchange, in 1882, [48] the back portion of William Adams Nicholson's original Corn Exchange – until recently Waterstones was totally rebuilt. [49] It then became an arcade of 15 shops with a rounded eastern end. [50] [51] [52]
  • Corn Exchange, Lincoln. Corn Hill: Sincil Street. 1879. [53] This replaced the earlier Corn Exchange which had now insufficient room for all the market traders. As originally designed the Corn Exchange was on the first floor and the ground floor was an open area used by other market traders. Red brick with round arched panels. It has a French mansard roof, typical of Bellamy and Hardy's work, with ironwork cresting. Inside, on the first floor, a large room, which was the main trading floor, has an impressive hammerbeam roof. [54] While the building was also used for other purposes, trading in corn continued until 1984. Renovation in 2017 has seen the insertion of large plate glass windows into the arched brick arcades on the south and east sides of the trading floor. [55]

Long Sutton

  • Long Sutton Market House and Corn Exchange, 9–11 Market Street, 1857. Large two-storey red-and-yellow-brick corn exchange. Four bays with arched windows on the first floor, with stone pediments on scroll brackets. The lower floor is now filled in with arched windows. The windows are surrounded by red brick, which contrasts with brown and yellow brick. After the first World War it became the Exchange Garage and later a stonemasons workshop. In 1999 it was acquired by the South Holland District Council and it has subsequently been renovated. [58]

Loughborough

Old Police Station and Magistrates Courts, Loughborough, Leics (Woodgate Centre) 1859
  • Loughborough Police Station (1859). This is probably the building that survives as part of the Woodgate centre. The Loughborough Monitor reported on 10 February 1859 that "the designs for these buildings were, on Thursday last, submitted for consideration by the Committee of management. Twelve had been sent in, out of which, one by Messrs Bellamy and Hardy of Lincoln, (the Architects of the Loughborough Cemetery) was selected for recommendation to the Quarter Sessions." [59]
  • Loughborough Savings Bank (1861). Bellamy and Hardy advertised for contractors for the erection of a new bank building for the Committee of the Loughborough Savings Bank in January 1861. [60] The site was to be on the corner of Baxter Gate with Mill Street [61] The Savings Bank was closed in July 1888 [62]

Louth Corn Exchange from the Illustrated London News, 7 January 1854.
  • Corn Exchange, Market Place. By Pearson Bellamy 1853–1855. Described by Pevsner in 1964 as "wonderfully decayed" with its facade looking like "a rotting cadaver". [65] Italianate, with a statue of Ceres in the middle. It was demolished in 1981 as the stone facade had reached an advanced state of decay. [66]
Louth- The Mansion House, Louth Louth- The Mansion House c.1750 (geograph 5141244).jpg
Louth- The Mansion House, Louth
  • The Mansion House, Louth, while generally considered to be mid-18th century [67] was extensively remodelled by Bellamy and Hardy in 1853. The Lincolnshire Chronicle records "The interior of the Mansion-house being at present scaffolded, in consequence of the alterations, it would be premature to give an opinion on the probable appearance of the building with the new lights in the roof. The public may be satisfied, however, that it will not be unworthy of its designers, Messrs. Bellamy and Hardy, the architects, under whose superintendence the work is being carried out." William Brown recorded the Mansion House, which at that time was the Louth Mechanics Institute, was "entirely new faced", the work being undertaken by John Dales, presumably the contractor for the work. A lantern tower was also added to the roof. [68]

Market Rasen, Lincolnshire

Market Rasen Corn Exchange Market Rasen Corn Exchange.png
Market Rasen Corn Exchange
  • Corn Exchange on the corner of the Market Place with the High Street. Market Rasen had two corn exchanges. Two sites were selected and building went ahead with Queen Street Market Hall, designed by Henry Goddard of Lincoln in 1854. A rival faction then went ahead at the same time with a Market Hall designed by Bellamy and Hardy, and the original drawing for this survives. [69] The drawing shows a building with a corner portico and Doric columns and Venetian windows on two sides of the building. The building was modified when built and there was an open cupola over the portico. This building opened in September 1854. The two corn exchanges were merged in 1856 and the Market Place building became a Market Hall. For a time it was used as a Town Hall and in 1914 it was converted into the Picturedrome cinema. It was demolished in 1960. [70]

Retford

Retford Town Hall. 1866-8 Retford Town Hall - geograph.org.uk - 1113790.jpg
Retford Town Hall. 1866-8
  • Retford Town Hall (1866–1868) Pevsner was somewhat scathing of the Town Hall in Retford, which is in a Francoise 1 style. He says it is "without any of the Victorian qualities we appreciate today: a bad mansard roof and a bad lantern". [71] The Builder (October 1867) uses the building as an example of an unsatisfactory result of a building competition, much preferring the Gothic revival design that had been submitted by the Bristol architects Godwin and Crisp. The site was purchased in 1864 and was followed by an architectural competition for which there were 18 entrants. Bellamy and Harding were selected from the shortlist. Work started in 1866 and was completed in 1867. The architects building costs were £7,110. The building was designed to house a Court held in the main hall, a Council Room, a committee and retiring room, Town Clerk's office and Muniment Room, a hall-keeper's residence, kitchens, Corn Exchange and a Butter, Poultry Market and Shambles or meat market. The local press liked the design and it was variously described as "Italian style, Italian Renaissance, Romanesque, and Palladian" in character. The side roofs are mansard pavilions, a French feature which appeared in England in the 1860s at Bishop Auckland Town Hall. The Court-house was replaced in the 1930s and the Shambles and Corn Exchange were demolished about 1980. [72]

St Neots

St Neots Corn Exchange 1863-5 St Neots Corn Exchange.png
St Neots Corn Exchange 1863-5
  • St Neots, Corn Exchange, Corner of South Street with High Street. 1863-5. "Yellow brick with rounded corner and jolly cast-ironwork", [73] Corner of High Street and South Street. Constructed in 1865. According to the Illustrated London News the architect was Pearson Bellamy, where it is described as being built in the '"Elizabethen style". [74] In 1915 the building was purchased by C. A. James, landlord of the Bridge Hotel, who opened it as a cinema. The building caught fire in 1929 and the cupola fell down. It was refurbished and renamed the Pavilion Cinema, until 1969, when the whole building was demolished.

Central Market, Halkett Place, St Helier, Jersey

Central Market, St Helier Cotchiethe du marchi Jerri.jpg
Central Market, St Helier
  • Central Market, Halkett Place, St Helier, Jersey. (1882) Appears to have been jointly designed by Thomas William Helliwell of Brighouse, Yorkshire and Bellamy and Hardy. The interior layout of the stalls and cast metalwork was probably taken from Helliwell's plan, but the exterior detailing appears to be largely by Bellamy and Hardy. Fronting Beresford Street and Halkett Place. Approved by the Markets Committee of the Jersey States in May 1880 at the estimated cost of £11,650. [75] [76]

Spalding, Lincolnshire

Spalding Corn Exchange 1855 Spalding Corn Exchange 1855.png
Spalding Corn Exchange 1855
  • Spalding Corn Exchange. 1855-6. This was built in the style of "Elizabeth". [77] Pevsner in 1964 described it as "Jacobean, three bays, with brick with shaped gable". [78] Demolished in 1972 and replaced by the unsatisfactory South Holland Centre, which in turn has been demolished and replaced.

Wellingborough, Northamptonshire

  • Wellingborough Corn Exchange (1858). Competition won by Bellamy and Hardy. [79] It was demolished in 1958.

Wisbech

  • Wisbech, Isle of Ely. A Corn Exchange, which still stands, was built behind the earlier Exchange/Town Hall building 1857–58. Sharman and Son, of Spalding, undertook the construction for the sum of £2,750. This amount was raised by 800 shares at £5 each, Richard Young (MP) being the largest shareholder in the Wisbech Corn Exchange company. With Mr. Yeoman as Clerk of works, building commenced in October 1857. The Exchange was described as 109 feet long, by 49 feet wine; the style (if any) Italian, with arched glass roof. [80]

Houses in Louth. Pearson Bellamy designed many houses in Louth, particularly near Linden Walk, Newmarket and Lee Street. An example of a larger villa house is Elmhurst on Crowtree Lane. [129] Houses in Leighton Buzzard In October 1861 Pearson Bellamy advertised for tenders for building three villas in Hockliffe Road, Leighton Buzzard. These houses appear to be nos. 50, 52 and 57 Hockliffe Road. [130]

Bellamy and Hardy were very involved in the suburban development on the edge of the historic core of Lincoln which took place in the second half of the 19th. century. This is included the designing of villa residences for Lincoln's prospering middle classes. The main areas that were developed by Bellamy and Hardy were in Newland, Newland Street West, Orchard Street and lower part of Yarborourgh Road on the western side of Lincoln; houses in Sewell Road and Lindum Terrace in the north-east and St Catherine's and South Park on the southern side.

In the 1870s Bellamy developed a group of houses on South Park facing South Common. These included numbers 58-59, a double villa (Briergate and Clyde Villa) in 1889. [145] Briergate was the home of Bellamy's son-in-law William Rainforth jnr. He also designed impressive villas nos 72 and 73 built in a Venetian Gothic style in 1872. [146]

6,7 & 8 Kilnwell Road, Market Rasen, Lincolnshire. Three houses, No 8 being a single villa house and No 6-7 being a double villa house appear to be the houses, referred to in the Stamford Mercury, as being rebuilt in 1852. [147]

Housing in Grimsby

It is likely that Pearson Bellamy designed a considerable number of houses in Grimsby in the period 1855-75, but at the moment, while many houses have the stylistic characteristics of Bellamy’s work, confirmation from documentary sources is not forthcoming. The Lincolnshire Chronicle does refer to three houses in Lower Burgess Street being built to Bellamy’s designs, but these appear to have been demolished. [148] Possible buildings cluster round Bargate, Abbey Road, Augusta Street, Dudley Street Welholme road and Welholme Avenue. Many of these houses have Venetian windows and arched windows, of a design often used by Bellamy. In Abbey Road "The Hawthorns " and "St Leonard’s House" (nos. 103 & 105) have black bricks sandwiched between yellow brick stringing and roof cresting, which is typical of Bellamy's designs. [149] The adjacent terrace, known as Clarence Terrace (65-95 Abbey Road ) and nicknamed the spectacles houses might be attributed to Bellamy. These are two storey, red brick, with blue slate roofs with iron cresting, cornice gutters with modillions. The western terrace has bands of fishscale decoration to the roof slates. Pairs of houses have a double porch supported by round columns with floriated capitals, and bay window on the ground floor with and arched sash windows above. The roofs have a row of distinctive oculus dormer windows, which are borrowed from mid-19th century French Beaux-Arts architecture.

On Bargate The Wheatsheaf ( No 47), formerly Bank House, has a frontage facing Welholme Road, with an extended side elevation along Bargate and it has three Venetian style windows of a design used by Bellamy. Adjacent to the Wheatsheaf on Welholme Road is the former Lancaster House (now Welholme Road Care Centre), [150] an impressive house, again with typical Venetian Windows. This has an oculus dormer window, similar to those on Clarence Terrace on Abbey Road. A similar house in a with Venetian windows is Claremont House in Welholme Avenue close to Abbey Road.

Middlewich Cemetery Chapel, Cheshire 1859

The provision of cemeteries by Town Councils which were separate from churchyards, largely came about as a result of the Burial Act 1854 (17 & 18 Vict c 87). It is one of the Burial Acts 1852 to 1885. The purpose of the 1854 Act purpose was to give provision for town councils to form burial boards to create and maintain cemeteries for parishes within their jurisdiction using funds from the Borough Rate. Following the passing of the Act during the next 30–40 years, very many new cemeteries were laid out. Bellamy and Hardy developed an expertise in cemetery design and layout for which they were awarded contracts in various parts of midland England. The design of the cemetery chapels is fairly standard with two side chapels linked by an arch which was surmounted by a spire. Pearson Bellamy's distinctive design for cemetery chapels appears to have arisen as a result of a dispute during the construction of his earliest cemetery chapels at Louth. Here he had designed two freestanding chapels, one for Anglicans and the other for Nonconformists, which were approached through a red brick Tudoresque tower. The vicar of Louth objected to this arrangement as he would have to step outside the chapel onto unconsecrated roadway to greet the funeral cortege. Eventually the chapel and a surrounding area for Anglican burials was consecrated by the Bishop of Lincoln in December 1855. [216] The later design with two chapels either side of an arch solved this problem, and as result the design was widely adopted. At Stoke-on-Trent, Bellamy and Hardy were supposed only to have laid out the cemetery and a local architect supplied the plans, but as the chapels are typical of Bellamy and Hardy's work, this is unlikely to be the case. The Middlewich cemetery chapels and the Oakham cemetery chapels are identical, apart from a slight alteration to the design of the central arch. In the Lincoln cemetery on Canwick Road, Bellamy and Hardy laid out the cemetery, but another Lincoln architect, William Mortimer provided the plans for the cemetery chapels. However, the Lodge of 1856 for the adjacent New Cemetery on Washingborough Road was designed by Bellamy. [217]

This house had not been built by 1868, [252] but Pearson Bellamy was adding extensions to the building in 1874. The use of heavy artificial stonework on the building has similarities with the artificial stonework on 16 Lindum Terrace, designed by Bellamy in 1872. [253]
  • 1 Sleaford Road, Ruskington. (1867) Very large double villa. Red brick with contrasting whitish brick. [254]

In London he was responsible for a number of major projects including the Langham Hotel. He also started in 1869 on the design of hospitals with the Infirmary to Hampstead Union Workhouse. After a short period of partnership with Lewis Angel, when Stratford Town Hall was built and with Edward Biven, by 1873 he was in partnership with Albert Edward Gough. They were joined in the practice by J E Trollope and they became involved in the design of Arts and Crafts housing in London's west end. Giles had business interests in the City of London and was noted in 1867 as being a Director of the Imperial Guardian Life Insurance Company.
