Bio Notes: In 1899 Charles Thomas Marshall formed a partnership with William Tweedie. In the late 1920s Marshall's son, Charles Beresford Tweedie opened a London branch. The firm of Marshall & Tweedy was based in New Cavendish Street, London with Charles Beresford Marshall and Lionel Hugo Fewster, LRIBA (1904-1957) as partners. The Newcastle firm, in Pilgrim Street, was renamed Marshall, Tweedy and Bourn with William Tweedy, FRIBA (1872-1951) and John Alexander Bourn (1866-1948) as partners. Bourn was a quantity surveyor and may not have been involved with designing. How separate the the two offices were is not clear. After the war the Newcastle practice seems to have reverted to the style of Marshall & Tweedy when Herbert Fitzroy Robinson (1914-2005) was in charge before he went London. The Newcastle practice closed in 1984.

In 1941 Marshall and Fewster dissolved their partnership to allow Marshall to rejoin the RAF in which he had flown in WWI. He was to return to practise after the war, but was killed in an air raid in 1944 with the rank of Squadron Leader. LH Fewster & Partners continued in the old office in Cavendish Street. At some point, possibly when Fewster died in 1957, the practice was merged as LH Fewster and Gamble I think Gamble was based in Worthing as this new practice seems to have been based in Sussex. In 1979 it became Gamble, Cook & Warner and in 1991 Michael Cook Associates.
