Henry Thomas Seward carries on the practice of the long-established Manchester firm of architects, Cruickshank and Seward, whose work in and around the city includes colleges in Southport and Barrow in Furness, Research offices for Fcrranti Ltd., and a warehouse in Peter Street, next to the Free Trade Hall, which attracted a good deal of attention when it was completed in 1937 by reason of its very large window area. Beside serving on the RIBA council and various committees, Mr Seward has also been President of the Manchester Society of Architects from 1941 to 1945. An ex‑rugger‑player, he is now better known for his cricketing activities in the Stockport area.[Architectural Review Vol 116 No 696 December 1954 Page 352]
