Bradshaw Gass & Hope

Bradshaw Gass & Hope is an English architectural practice founded in 1862 by Jonas James Bradshaw.

The style "Bradshaw Gass & Hope" was adopted after Bradshaw's death to incorporate the names of the remaining partners, John Bradshaw Gass and Arthur John Hope. As of 2022, the firm continues to operate from offices in Bolton.

History
Jonas James Bradshaw first opened an office on Nelson Square, Bolton in 1862, then moved to 19 Silverwell Street in 1871. His nephew John Bradshaw Gass joined him in 1882 and Arthur John Hope was articled to the firm in 1892, becoming a partner in 1902. Until the 1960s most of the firm's work was in the Classical idiom. ==Work==
