Richard Tattersall, the son of Thomas and Betty Tattersall, was born in Burnley and christened on 2 May 1802. He was articled to William Hayley of Manchester in whose office he remained until 1830 at which time he set up practice on his own account. His first recorded work was “Chaseley” in Eccles Old Road, Pendleton, for Richard Gardner in 1830 and in the same year he won the competition for the County Infirmary at Carlisle with a fine Doric portico. In 1835 Tattersall became “stone deaf,” although this disability appears to have had little effect on his professional career. In 1842 Richard Tattersall obtained his last commission, the Moral and Industrial Schools at Swinton a massive undertaking for the Manchester Board of Guardians. By April 1843 he had taken T Dickson into partnership.  Following Richard Tattersall’s death in 1844, Dickson took W.H. Brakspear into partnership and together they completed the scheme.  Work the Moral and Industrial Schools at Swinton was to prove too great a strain on Richard Tatterhall’s health and he was to die in confinement in 1844.

According to Colvin, J.S. Crowther was a pupil of Tattersall until 1843. The source of this information is given as the Dictionary of Architecture, editor Wyatt Papworth. Published in 8 volumes. 1851-2
