Photographs from the Archives

Some years ago, when the office of Gray Baynes + Shew was still at number 18 Beaumont Street we celebrated what we all thought to be a significant birthday of the founding of the practice. Immediately following this more information came to light which revealed that the practice was in fact older, being founded by David Booth in 1933.

A look at our history section will provide more detail and bring you up to the present day. However we also thought it might be interesting for you to take a look at some of the photographs in our archive. These older prints are stored in wooden lidded boxes and we have selected images from a number of projects which you may find interesting.
