See Sheppard, R., Cast Iron in Building, London, 1945, and Gloag, J. and Bridgwater, D., A History of Cast Iron in Building, London, 1948. These accounts require considerable revision in the light of later research by T. C. Bannister and by A. W. Skempton. See Note [151], infra, and for further illustrations, ‘The Iron Pioneers’, Architectural Review, CXXX (1961), 14-19, and Richards, J.
