Bio Notes: Hugh Dale was born at 99 Annfield Street, Glasgow on 28 August 1872, the son of Hugh Dale, boot- and shoemaker, and his wife Agnes Paterson Steele. He was articled to Henry Edward Clifford in 1887, remaining as assistant until 1906; during that period he studied at Glasgow School of Art and the Glasgow and West of Scotland Technical College. In or shortly after 1906 he entered into a partnership with Thomas Dykes, then aged sixty and an architect from another age. This practice, based at 65 West Regent Street, was never notably prosperous. Dale spent the year 1916 in Liverpool, perhaps on war work, but appears to have returned in 1917. The practice did not recover after the First World War and in 1919 or early 1920 Dale withdrew from the partnership and moved to Coventry, where he recommenced practice at 41 Dean Street.
