| When Joe Rowel set up his practice in 1847, he would have had little idea of its development over the next 150 years. Through ongoing partnerships with Messrs Locke, Land and Newcombe and their sons, that same practice has maintained a family continuity that has endured two World Wars and any number of industrial and technological revolutions. |  |
Today, at the beginning of the 21st century, the practice still holds a proud and respected position in the local community. With such a historical background, it's no surprise that innovative design and technical knowledge, aligned with consideration for our architectural heritage, from the backbone of the practice. |
