T H Johnson, architect and surveyor, appears to have established himself in Doncaster by 1920. He collaborated with Professor Patrick Abercrombie of the Department of Civic Design in the University of Liverpool on the production of The Doncaster Regional Planning Scheme [1922]. The firm worked from several different locations in Doncaster, including Priory Place and South Parade, before moving the offices at Wadworth Hall in the later 1970s. The firm ceased to exist under its long-established name in 1996 and moved from Wadworth Hall, when its records, with the exception of those catalogued here and some items retained by the successor partnership, were destroyed. No records apart from these plans, which are few and very miscellaneous, are known to have survived
