Peter Atkinson (baptised 1780 - 1843) was an English architect. Atkinson was educated in his profession by his father, Peter Atkinson (1735–1805). In 1801, he became his father's partner, and after his father died, he took over the business in 1805 and Matthew Phillips (c1781-1825) became his partner until 1819. A former pupil, Richard Hey Sharp, (1793-1853) succeeded Phillips until 1827, after which Atkinson's sons, John Bownas Atkinson (1807-1874) and William Atkinson (1811-1886) assisted their father. Among Atkinson's surviving works are: * Enlarged the Female Prison in York Castle by adding the end bays to match John Carr's Assize Courts, 1802 (the Female Prison is now part of York Castle Museum) * Rectory at Middleton on the Wolds, Yorkshire, c.1810 * Council Chamber at York Guildhall 1810-11 * The new Ouse Bridge over the river Ouse, begun in 1810, finished in 1820. * The new Foss Bridge, which joins the streets of Fossgate and Walmgate over the River Foss in the city of York, 1811-12 * For many years Atkinson had been a steward and surveyor to the corporation of York. He erected many churches in the service of the church commissioners. During the last years of his life he resided abroad. ==References== 2.
