A. E. Sewell
Arthur Edward Sewell (1872–1946) was an English architect, particularly known for the public houses he designed whilst working as the in-house architect for Truman's Brewery. His career peaked in the 1920s and 1930s, and at least five pubs that he designed in that period are now listed buildings with Historic England. In all, he designed around 50 pubs.

According to Nikolaus Pevsner in ''The Buildings of England'', Sewell's pu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
