J H Napper & Partners - 1946
|
|
Professor Jack Hollingworth Napper, of Newcastle University, formed J H Napper & Partners Architects in 1946. In doing so he became one of the few men who sucessfully combined practice with teaching up to his retirement in 1969. By then he had become without doubt one of the most respected figures in the world of architectural teaching.
