W. J. Neatby - a photo on Flickriver

W. J. Neatby

            William James Neatby is noted for the decorative scheme, in Doulton ceramic tilework, which he designed for the food hall of a well-known Kensington department store.  Another of his designs was applied to the front of the Edward Everard printing works in Broad Street, Bristol.  Being familiar with the latter building I might have been expected to recognise the entrance to the Royal Arcade, Norwich, as Neatby's work, but didn't.  I found out later, when browsing in Pevsner.  The two schemes are similar, notably in the  colours of the tiles and in those chubby little columns, upper left.  They were executed in consecutive years, 1899 and 1900, this being the earlier.  Neatby's work is a decorative façade, of course.  The architect was George Skipper.  Pevsner avers that the premises now occupied by Waterstone's were originally a public house.
