Career edit
In 1942 he drew up a plan of the "main lines by which the town would develop after the war", for the Planning and Reconstruction Committee of Walthamstow borough.[1]
Among his notable designs for the borough was the Countess Road development of 19 blocks of flats (1946),[2][3] and Central Parade, Walthamstow, (1958) described by Historic England as embodying "the Festival style, blending pattern and colour, surface decoration, slender detailing and lively rhythmical modelling with conviction and élan".[4]
