George Skipper
George John Skipper (1856–1948) was a leading Norwich based architect of the late Victorian and Edwardian period.〔(George Skipper ) Retrieved 08 March, 2010〕 Writer and poet, John Betjeman said of him "he is altogether remarkable and original. He was to Norwich what Gaudi was to Barcelona"〔(Sir John Betjeman ) Retrieved 10 March 2010〕
==Life==
Skipper was born in the Norfolk market town of East Dereham. Skipper was educated at the Bracondale School, Norwich and later went on to attend the Norwich School of Art for one year. He trained as an architect in London and returned to work in his father's firm of builders in Norwich. After setting up his own business in 1879 he was commissioned to design the town hall at Cromer and, subsequently, several seaside hotels in the town.〔(Evening News article ) Retrieved 12 December 2013〕
Much of his best work, dating from around the beginning of the twentieth century, is in Norwich. At this time Skipper, along with his rival Edward Boardman dominated building in the city. His own office in London Street, now part of the Jarrolds departmental store, has a red brick facade, with a frieze featuring scenes of architects and builders. It is faced with a locally-made type of terracotta called ''Cosseyware'', made at Costessey (pronounced "Cossey") near Norwich by the firm of Guntons.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Cosseyware )〕 In 1899 he designed the Arts and Crafts style Royal Arcade in the city.〔(Royal Arcade ) 08 March, 2010〕 His design for the Norwich Union headquarters in Surrey Street was completed in 1903–4. The building features the noted Marble Hall.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Surrey House )〕
