  • U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects
    Hull History Centre: Records of Francis Johnson & Partners, Architects U DFJ Records of Francis Johnson 1939-2010 & Partners, Architects Historical Background: Francis Johnson and Partners, Architects (1937-Present) This firm of architects was established by local architect Francis Johnson in 1937. Based in Bridlington, the office was originally in Manor Street before being moved to its permanent location at Craven House, 16 High Street, in 1940. In the early years there was just Francis and a secretary working at the firm. In 1947 a draughtsman, Brian Smith, was appointed by Francis to help him cope with an increasing workload. The first architect to be appointed was Clive Barnby in 1953 and he remained with the firm until 1971. Tim Pool was the next architect to be appointed, he was with the firm from 1961 until 1967. In 1963 a third architect, Malcolm D. McKie, was appointed and his business acumen proved indispensable to the running of the firm. Malcolm McKie remained at the firm until his retirement. The 1970s and 1980s saw a massive increase in work for the firm, and in 1989 Digby Harris was appointed as the firm's newest architect. In 1991 the leadership of the firm jointly passed to Digby Harris and Malcolm G. Stather. Other employees of the firm have included Roger J.M. Goldthorpe and V. Kemp-Webster. As would be expected, most of the firm's work was located in the East Riding of Yorkshire. Staple commissions tended to be located in Bridlington, Driffield, Filey and the surrounding villages. North Yorkshire also provided the firm with a large number of commissions centred round York itself, Malton, Whitby and Scarborough.
