P is CK Cotton.
It’s actually quite tricky to search for CK Cotton images to check.  You get endless photos of Calvin Klein cotton underwear!
Well done.

Ken Cotton is ‘Mr P’.

Here's a now coloured old b&w photo of an apparent get-together of GB architects many years ago.

Not a quiz question this time, rather can you help identify those present in the photo?

Harry Colt, John Morrison and Hugh Alison are the three at front right but who are the others?

Awesome picture!  The C&A dining room at Sea Island needs to replace their mantle piece photo.

Did we ever figure out the identity of the man on the far right of the front row?

Bob, I'm surprised:
it's David Scott-Taylor, of course.
Now, more confusing is that the shorter fellow in the 2nd row bears a strong resemblance to a young Edward, Duke of Windsor

At the risk of being a threadkiller, anyone want to guess?   I was quite surprised.

Doesn't look like anyone I know but if I was to do a bit of a Sherlock I'd deduce he's a) a man b) British c) judging by the garb he's in the US and d) probably sometime early 1920's ? HJ Whigham perhaps ?

Niall,


Good guess but he's American and I believe this was during the teens.

Sorry fellows, I just realized the thread explicitly stated "GB" architects.   

I am a stupid.    ::)

Ya big numpty.
Your punishment for this egregious infraction is that ye shall be taken from here and placed upon a flying device which will take you to the penal colony known as Scotland for a minimum of two, ehm, weeks. You will, however, be allowed to take your golfing implements which must be employed every day of your sentence.
Any further such infractions will naturally incur longer penalties... ;)
